Christmas Card

The Morrison Family: 2008 Update

Kerry has a new funeral home scheduled to open at the first of the year; and along with the new business venture comes increasing amounts of gray hair.
Natalie is kept busy as the Burley 11th Ward Primary President, and is also kept busy worrying about Carlie’s impending absence.
Carlie is awaiting graduation this May. She is kept busy with her managerial job at Kodiak Northwest and trying to decide whether to accept the offered tuition scholarships of BYU or Utah State.
Lacy started high school this year, and proved a valuable asset to the freshman volleyball team as their most reliable setter. Half of her male peers are looking forward to her 16th birthday.
Kasiah is in seventh grade this year. She started her first year of volleyball and excelled. She is a dedicated student and drama queen, and is still all smiles, all the time.
Hayden is in third grade. He is the teachers’ pet, sports star, animal lover, and singing/dancing fool in our family—and recently made his theatrical debut on YouTube!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,

The Morrisons

Hayden's On YouTube

Hayden and some of his school friends performed to "Once there was a snowman" for their final Christmas program at school, after performing throughout the community. Hayden is the one in the black hat and the sun glasses. He sure can dance! Enjoy.

Halloween

I know, Halloween was a long time ago, but I decided to do a quick post anyways. Hayden dressed up as the Joker and Kasiah and her friend were pajama girls. We thought it would be fun to dress our dog up too! We all had a wonderful night.

More Funeral Home Pictures

Where the sign will be
Soon to be water fountain

Here are a few of our most recent pictures of the funeral home. It's coming along very quickly and we hope to be opened in a few more weeks!

Morrison Funeral Home

The mortuary....err....funeral home, is coming along nicely, and we have pictures to prove it!

Yes, looks can be deceiving, but this is the back....not the front.

The fireplace near the main entrance is finished--it's just that nothing around it is yet :-)

THIS is the front of the building. Tricky, huh?!

And this is a view of the parking lot and front of the building, from farther away.
Painting and carpeting are going to be started soon, and November is still the anticipated opening date. We're all so excited for my Dad!!!

Just an Update

Volleyball season is (finally) over! After long practices and even longer games, it all paid off for Kasiah with the last game of the season (pictured here). We're glad it's done, at least I am (no more picking her up after practices) but I think she is already waiting for next year to come. She was a real hustler....not to mention the cutest girl on the team. We're so proud of her!!!

My mom got this picture when I didn't know, and I figured I would let everyone else laugh with me....

This is the reason I couldn't ever participate in school sports. It would just take too much out of me!

But anyway.....kudos to Kasiah--we can't wait till next year!!

BYU @ USU

Yeah, the game got over with a long time ago, and we're just barely getting pictures up. But we did have a fun time watching BYU play Utah State in Logan.

USU was a very generous host. We got to stay in the brand new dorms, tour the campus, and get free t-shirts and ice cream! Hayden is posing (very cutely) with his Aggies blanket.

One of the highlights of our trip was getting to see our cousin Rachel, who just got engaged!

Hayden and Dad also having fun at the game

We all posed for a picture together right before we had to leave. What a fun family trip!
