Earlier this week, Jeff and Penny and their daughters put up the Christmas decorations at their home. They keep the artificial Christmas tree and several boxes of decorations stored in their outdoor shed during the first 11 months of the year, then get out the festive holiday ornaments to put in their living room during the month of December. From top: the tree, decorated with plastic apples and real candy canes; an artificial poinsettia plant; a nativity scene, and River with a Santa Claus hat posing by wooden blocks that spell "MERRY CHRISTMAS".

Last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, Jeff and Penny got up early to do some early Christmas shopping. These photos show the line outside Circuit City electronics store in Salt Lake at about 4:45 a.m., fifteen minutes before the store opened. The store had several "door buster" specials, including 2 GB camera cards for $7, and 500 GB external hard drives for about $70. Other items on sale included computer games, DVDs, TV sets, and other electronic equipment. Despite being about 500th in a line of more than 1,000 people, Jeff still managed to get a few items and be out of the store with his purchases by 5:40.

After last night's basketball game, Ryder and Jake were goofing around in front of the school, playing with the head of a cow elk that their friend Stephen recently shot during the elk hunt. They enjoyed making the cheerleaders scream!
