BYU Bookstore Princess Party

Part of the President's party was a display of

live princesses in the BYU Store.

Great marketing tactic, get parents into the store

and make them go to all three levels and different sections

to find all of the princesses so their children

could get autographs from all of them

They did a really good job matching the girls to the 

princess characters. 

At first we thought that Alex

might not want to participate but

we found a football player

 and Cosmo to get his attention.

Then later he got all of the 

princesses autographs as well.

Kate wanted nothing to do with posing by them for a picture

However toward the end mom was not allowed in the picture.

 He must have just asked her on a date

I think the Olaf stuffed animal helped to start breaking the ice.

OK maybe not.

With some of the Averett cousins.

Brave in particular loved his red hair.

 This is where mom was ousted from the picture

notice we were almost out of fairies and princesses by then

 We went back to the first so that 

Alex could get the last three he had missed.

Pres. and Sister Worthen's Christmas Party at the Wilk

President and Sister Kevin Worthen have 

continued the BYU Christmas tradition

of hosting a party for the families 

of BYU employees.

It is a fun event for children with 

crafts and games for them to have fun

as well as to meet Santa.

 We started Zoey at the games since the line

was a lot shorter than the craft line

where Alex and Kate, with Averett

cousins were standing.

Fishing pond

Pin the nose on Frosty

Ring Toss

Musical Chairs 

Bean Bag toss

Obstacle course

Later we joined up with them for 

doughnuts and drinks.

Waiting in line to see Santa.

Averett cousins with Santa.

Those doughnuts were really good.

Grandpa Averett never wanted a cell phone

but once he finally had to get it he has

since learned what fun it is to see

pictures of elk sent to him from Jeff.

 Marie seems to find friends from Reagan Academy

just about where ever she goes.

 More Reagan friends.

We stopped for a quick picture in front of the 

Y campus mural.

 The Y on the mountain was almost hidden in the snow.
