Christmas and New Years

Shane and I had a Merry Christmas, and are looking forward to the New Year. Our Christmas day was filled with family, food and of course tons of presents.

We hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas, and that you have a safe and Happy New Year!!!!

We are excited to see what 2010 has to offer us.

Music and the Spoken Word

Shane and I had a wonderful time going to Music and the Spoken word with his parents. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir had done their Christmas concert this past weekend, so after the broadcast of the Music and the Spoken Word, they performed a mini concert with Natalie Cole and David McCullough who performed with them this year for the choirs Christmas program. It was amazing, and loved every minute of it. Here are a few pictures that I snuck and took before the programs had started.



The Choir and the Orchestra before Music and the Spoken Word. I know it's not the best picture, but I couldn't give myself away and use a flash.

Christmas Devotional

Last Sunday Shane and I had the wonderful opportunity to go with his parents to see the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. We loved it, and I wish that we could make it a family tradition every year. The messages were great, and were very direct that we needed to focus on the birth of our Savior at this time of year, rather then the hustle or bustle of Christmas itself. We are so glad that we got to go. Here is a few picture of us, and the conference center before the program started.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir

I was in awe that night the music was amazing, and they sang my very favorite song from Handel's Messiah. I sang "For Unto Us a Child is Born" right along with them. Wishing the whole time that I was in the choir. I can sing but I am just not that great. Only in my wildest dreams would I ever get to sing with the choir. For now I will stick with our Ward choir.

Kempton family pictures 2009

I have been wanting to post a few of these for a while. Shane and I got our pictures taken the first part of October. My dear friend Allyson took these, and I am ever so gracious to her for doing so. She had just gotten into town, dropped her kids off with her parents and ran out the door to meet us. Thanks again Allyson for the fabulous job that you did. I had a ton of fun, and I love them all!!!!! I will be calling you in the future to do them again. Just wish you lived so much closer then Vegas.



















Sorry I couldn't post all of them. They are suppose to be for Christmas.
