Christmas without sprinkles is like raisins without wrinkles...

Did anyone else know that this cherished book is selling for $250-$500 online?? That's nuts!

Anyway, Christmas is sneaking up on us, just like that crazy sprinkle snitcher Jaron so wonderfully portrayed in our family Christmas plays so long ago, and I've been thinking about what we, the Brown siblings, could give to one another this year.

What if we were to do something a little different this year and use the money we would spend on one another to provide Christmas for an individual or family in need?

If everyone is up for this, there are a few options I've come up with that we could pursue to make this idea happen...

1) Find someone or some family within one of our communities (through wards, work, etc) that we could "adopt"/provide Christmas for.

2) Go through an organization such as Toys for Tots to give us a family to adopt, Or

3) Donate the money to an organization that will allocate the money for us.

I'm thinking that no dollar amount should be set to make this Christmas gift idea happen. I figure everyone could pitch in whatever they feel comfortable with.

With all of us being kinda spread out, we could use PayPal to easily combine our dinero. But before going any further, could everybody give me feedback so we can decide on what we should do or if we even want to do this altogether?

Spidey Man?

this is from my most recent adventure to Zions Nat'l Park, on a hike or rather rapell called Pine Creek. This was our last rapell. It made us feel slightly like spidey man. not to mention our sweet spidey kicks.

Hiking Timp

Some of the beautiful foliage we encountered on the 16-mile journey. My legs are still recovering.

Prairie dog Amber at the summit. 11,750 feet above sea level. Don't worry that I actually asked if we really needed to go all the way to the top to see the same view, cause we did.

Almost to the top, City-side of the ridge. Japanese style.
