My 2016 unintentionally became "The Year I Never Blogged"
because it intentionally became "The Year I Learned How to Be a Mom,"
and I hate the empty space over in those little drop-down year menus to your right.
So, each month is getting a retroactive rewind post.

November:
Birthday month for the boys! Michael turned 29 and we celebrated with his favorite foods after he got home from work. Westin turned 2 and we celebrated with all our Miner family at Grandma and Grandpa's house! We made a quick trip out for Thanksgiving and Westin's birthday. It was so fun to spend Thanksgiving in Deseret where I had spent so many Thanksgivings growing up, with my mom's family.
We also blessed Bennett in my parent's home that Sunday with my family. He was blessed on November 27, 2016 by Michael and was told that he'd be a force for good in the world. He was told he'd be an example to his older brother as he learned to listen to the Spirit. He was blessed to know right from wrong and to be a source of light in this life. Bennett really is pure light and I know that he's a special spirit. We are so lucky he's in our family.
Michael's vacations in residency feel like such precious time! We were happy to spend Thanksgiving with family and have a fun birthday month for Westin and Michael. The Cannons also came up to meet Bennett and we felt so lucky once again that we now live so close to some family! We love having them nearby in LA.
