Ring out the Old, Ring in the New

On FHE night we went to Temple Square with Kelly and boys and Kory and Katie and boys. It was a beautiful night, not too cold. We took hot chocolate and donuts to enjoy. The boys didn't want to leave the visitor's center especially after I told them I would give them a quarter for each mural they could tell me the story of. They made a little money that night.

On December 19th we celebrated Josh and Paul's birthday. Katie made two cakes, one for each of them. Josh is 5 and Paul is 65. We had a reindeer party and it was fun.


We went to Island Park two days before Christmas and missed the big snowstorm getting there. Kimberly and Gary and family came in Wednesday and Kelly and Rob had to wait til the day after Christmas to get here. Kory and family decided not to come since the roads were so bad and they could only stay the weekend. I personally went on a couple of snowmobile trips with Kimberly, Gary, and Rob. Had a great time. We spent time at the clubhouse swimming, and playing racquetball.


After snowmobiling all day the guys came in and played Guitar Hero all night. The kids had a hard time getting any time on it.

South Jordan has a little ice skating rink so Saturday we met Kory and Katie and tried skating. You can see that only Paul, Robbie and Kelly were brave enough to try it. We had a good time anyway.



Paul and I went to the Capital building to see Gov. Huntsman inaugurated. That was interesting and we got to hear David Archiletto sing the Star Spangled Banner. Paul got interviewed by Fox 13 but didn't make it on the evening news. We have been to the temple many times and enjoy our time there. The weather is cold and Paul keeps busy keeping the huge driveway cleared off. That was his major job at the cabin over Christmas. Have a great week. It's good to get back to blogging again. I hope to be more consistent now.

Sounds as if you had a wonderful holiday season. Being surrounded by family is what makes it the best. We did a bit of that Guitar Hero ourselves. I was lousy but the kids had it down.
