On Friday December 19, 2008 Sean graduated from WyoTech. He finished top in his class recieving an award for being the Outstanding Student in his class. Unfortunately, his teachers did not submit his name soon enough before graduation so he did not get to recieve one of the fancy plaques that the Outstanding Students in other classes recieved. But we know that Sean is amazing and we are all so proud of him and his accomplishments! Sean finished with a 93% cumulative GPA, which is awesome! He is now working on building up his tool supply to get ready to put his skills to work and enjoying every minute of it. 
Logan enjoyed running around and climbing up and down the steps of the auditorium while we waited for the graduation ceremony to start. 
Logan was very excited for his Daddy!
Many special Thanks to all of our family for their support and help as we have been on this journey, we could not have done it without you. Thankyou, we love you!
Our ward Christmas party was Saturday evening. Sean and I spend most of the day Saturday helping to decorate the cultural hall to get ready. The decorations turned out pretty good, everybody had a good time.
This is what Logan looked like most of the evening. He does not have a medium speed, it is stop or go-really-fast. He enjoyed running around with other kids up and down the gym and stage. Of all of the little kids in the ward that were running around, guess who was the one who found the bag of candy canes that were hidden for Santa to pass out! I found him covered in sticky slobbery red juice, trying to get the candy out of the wrapper. 
These are some of the beautiful decorations.
Santa came to visit our Christmas party, of corse. Many of the adults commented on how skinny Santa is this year. When Santa entered the gym, Logan saw him accross the room and pointed to Santa and said, "That's Daddy!" If he sees a picture of another Santa he will say "Santo Claus" but a picture of our party Santa and Logan knows it is Daddy. Genius child! 
I think that knowing who was in the Santa suit was actually better for Logan. I dont think we would have gotten him to sit on Santa's lap and smile for a picture otherwise. 
While Logan and I were playing, he picked out a couple dinosaurs, arranged them on his bed, then informed me that we needed to take a picture of them. 
After we took pictures of the dinosaurs, Logan joined them. He was so very proud!
Last Saturday we took a trip to the Oakland Temple with the youth in the ward. We went to the visitors center first to see the statue display. There were statues of several different scenes from Christ's life. They were beautiful. Afterward, we headed outside to wait for the Christmas lights to be turned on.
This is Bro. Alconcel from the Bishopric. They were late turning on the lights so we got a little bored!
By the time the lights finally turned on, it was past Logan's bedtime and we were all very hungry.
We are waiting for the lights. . . waiting, waiting, waiting. We're still happy, aren't we?
Logan found some little girls to play with. The woman on Logan's right has a little chihuahua puppy in her arms. 
Yea! lights!
Brian and Melanie Alconcel. What a cute couple!
Because we don't have room to put our Christmas tree this year, we decided to make one so it would feel more like Christmas in our apartment. Sean cut out a tree from green wrapping paper, then Logan and I made some ornaments for it. Logan loved decorating the tree! It will be fun for him next year when we get to decorate a real tree. 
Sean was sharing a candy cane with Logan, but when it was all gone, Logan wanted more. He knew that Sean had put the last bite in his mouth so he decided to hunt it down!
