A special thanks to our good good friends Kent and DeeAnn Slade which helped make our year memorable by taking us to Yellowstone, Disneyland/Legoland, Wicked, Odgen temple open house, and introducing us to our cute little doggie…and many other little great things.

Some of you we see often, others not so much.  However, know we love you and are so grateful you are in our lives.

And we wish you a Merry Christmas and a great 2015!

With love,

The Minor family
