The Hale Family: Our White Christmas

Our White Christmas

February 15, 2009

I am so sad that our photos are so bad. At least it was our cameras final holiday. It will only be taking photos of the city dump now! This year we got to spend Christmas in Utah with Joe's family. We nearly froze to death, but we had fun doing it! Christmas eve always includes a few traditions; the story of Christmas...this year retold by Joe with the help of some of the little ones.

Music...

Money Grab... a favorite of all of the grandkids! This was Jaden's first time.

It was so fun to be together with everyone!!

Christmas Morning...

Aprons made by mom...

Jade got dinosaurs. He knows just what to do with them.

Now he can be Luke or Darth Vador. I've noticed he's partial to Darth. I'm sure it's only because he likes red, right?

Bring on the snow!
With all the snow that fell while we were there, we just had to take the kids sleding. They had never been before. That's what you get for living in Vegas. I am not complaining. Trust me!
We had a ball. The kids were little kid-sicles, but who cares when you are having so much fun...
Down the hill- wheeeeee!

Dad and Brynn

Up the hill- Heave!

I grew up in Mesa AZ and Joe in Farmington UT. I knew Joseph's uncle and grandma in Mesa and between the two of them they were bound and determined to set me up with Joseph who was "also a singer and would be perfect for me". The only problem was that he lived in Utah. Soon after, I left for BYU and ended up meeting him at callbacks for The Young Ambassadors. That next year we ended up as dance partners in Young Ambassadors. We became best friends, but dated other people until we finally got it together and started dating each other. We were engaged in Singapore on tour, and married 3 months later. We left for rehearsals 3 weeks later and worked on Holland America Cruise Line as guest entertainers for a year. We traveled to Hawaii, Mexico and Alaska. We went back to BYU for our final year of school and graduated with degrees in Music Dance Theater. Princess Cruise Line hired us as guest entertainers and we traveled for 6 months with them to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. We then decided to move to New York where we lived for a year and performed in 2 tours. One day Joe woke up and told me he was going to be a dentist, so we changed gears. We have two amazing children, Brynnley and Jaden, who keep us as crazy as everyone else on this journey of parenthood. Wouldn't change a thing! Here we are finished with dental school and on to "real" life in Arizona. We have had an amazing journey in these 12 years, and it's only going to get better!!
