Santa visited Mesa this Christmas and we ended up with some beautiful cabinets compliments of the Jamison's. The shelves are filling up and Diana is smiling! Thought we would share some photos.

Fun at the Holiday Dinner for Mountain View High School Choirs - Josh

Thu, 12/08/2011 - 12:57pm — joefree

We had a great time at the Holiday Dinners last night where all the choirs perform and we get a nice meal. Here is one of the songs Josh's group performed. It was fun!

Melinda, Jeff, Gloria and Diana and I went. Very pleasant evening.

My favorite part is the end when all the choirs come out and surround the entire room and sing a couple of songs. They even invite the alumni up, so Melinda got to stand next to Josh. Very nice.

Let him in...

Here's hoping we all have time to let him in...

Thanksgiving in Mesa 2011 - See you all next year!

Sat, 11/26/2011 - 8:15am — joefree

Sorry for the tardiness in getting these out. These are some pictures shot by Grandma, Grandpa, Joe and Andrew.

There were several more taken by Aisling, Diana, Dave and I'm sure others that may trickle out later.

But hopefully this will get you an idea of the event we have enjoyed.

We didn't get any pictures of our White Friday where we all went to the temple and did a session for many of Jen's ancestors, then we did sealings and the kids did baptisms at the temple. Mesa Temple was so great! Without any prior notice they let us do it all, and Uncle John did the baptizing too! We got to the temple at about 8:45am and left about noon. It was awesome.

I also don't have pictures from the iron chef event or the events for today...

I'm sure they will come.

The bottom line is, we all are loving it and have already decided to make it an annual event...so get it on your calendars!

Looks like there were too many pictures to post! Here is a link to the pictures on posterous. See the photos

Calling all iPhone users

Fri, 11/25/2011 - 8:04pm — joefree

This is a small request from a person who is not currently residing in Arizona:

Where are all the pictures and updates on the Free Family Gathering in Mesa!?! I heard there were going to be some fun activities, but hey, maybe not.

If there are any iPhone users out there (or anyone else willing to do so), feel FREE to send some photos to free4all posterous!

Loves!
Mike

Thanksgiving Activities Wish List!

Mon, 11/14/2011 - 1:58pm — joefree

For all of you coming to sunny Arizona for Thanksgiving, I thought it might make sense to start an activity wish list. The intent here is to list things we've got planned as well as thinks we might like to do if we can figure it out. So don't hold back, add to this list the things you'd love to be a part of and maybe we'll be able to make it happen!

Thursday

AM

- Turkey bowl football game

PM

- Meal at Joe's house, tables setup out back to enjoy the perfect 70 degrees...

• All the traditional thanksgiving fixings

• Special request items: 1 deep fried turkey

- Naps, movie, etc.

Friday

AM

PM

1st Annual Free Family Cook-off! - This is an activity that McKay is driving. The plan is to divide everyone in the family up into 3 teams. Each team is given a basket of ingredients and has to go off and cook an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert using the ingredients from the basket. We thought we could separate to kitchens at Joe & Diana's, Dave and Kristin's, and Jeff and Melinda's. Grandma and Grandpa will serve as the judges and we all get to eat the results! McKay already has the team lists put together and he and Brett were talking about t-shirts last night...

Saturday

AM

For the girls: Shower for Kelly at Brett and Aisling's house

For the boys: Pedicure's at Rosy's Nail Shoppe (just checking to see if you are reading), Real option: Desert adventure that include shooting, rock hounding, hiking, searching for the Lost Dutchman's mine etc.

PM

Sushi Discovery with Matt & Chiaki - this is my idea. I'd love to learn more about sushi and try out several kinds but want to do it with somebody that knows what they are doing. Thinking maybe we could order out some from a local restaurant or all go to a local restaurant?

That's what we've got so far. Please feel free to add other things etc.

The best part of the whole thing will be that we're all together whatever the activities end up being!

See you soon!

Dave
