New Year’s Eve

I think I forgot to take pictures on New Year’s Eve.  The Valentine Fam and Nappy stayed through New Years Day.  We had lots of snacks, drinks, played games and watched the ball drop at 10:00 (midnight on the east coast.

Holiday Fun

A couple of days after Christmas we got to bring Reese, Lucas, Kody and Ryker home with us!  The weather was not good again for traveling but we made it home.  It was super cold that week too but the kids wanted to play outside in the snow – they didn’t last too long (I made them come in!)   Tawnya and Bronson, and Jed, Katie, Hadley and Nappy all came up on Friday.  We had the Nicholas Family Christmas Party on Saturday morning and enjoyed waffles.  Our plan was to go to Hardware Ranch after to see the elk but it was way too cold.   We opted to go to Dixie Grill for burgers and then Nappy tended the kids so we could attend the Brigham Temple and do some sealings.  It’s always so special to have your kids in the Temple with you.

Christmas - 2012

We got to enjoy Christmas with the Kesler Family this year!  The weather was not cooperative for traveling but we made it safe and sound.  We had a great time and it is always so much fun to watch the grandkids Christmas morning!

Thanksgiving - #1

The Kesler Family hosted our entire family for Thanksgiving this year.  There was alot of food, fun, and flu that was enjoyed (or not) by most.   The weather was perfect for the kids to play outside part of the time, ride horses, jump on the trampoline, etc.  Despite the sickness, we did have a great time.

TOFW

My girls and I went to “Time Out For Women” in Salt Lake City.  Shara flew up for the weekend and we celebrated her birthday at The Melting Pot – yum!  Jessica didn’t really care about attending the “classes” so she met us for lunch at City Creek Center.  We went to an off-Broadway play - “Y-Light” that was alot of fun.  Enjoy the pictures – we sure had a great time.  Love my girls!

Brigham City Utah Temple

Our beautiful Brigham City Temple was officially dedicated September 23, 2012.  It has been a spectacular event leading up to the dedication.  I was asked to be the CCC (no idea what that stands for now) for our ward.  It was alot of work but so well worth it.  Everyone could be involved in some way or another with transportation, sewing costumes, art, music, dance, etc.  The youth from our region (about 4,000) participated in a beautiful program on Saturday.  They did a fabulous job! 
We are so blessed to have this beautiful temple so close to us.   We love it and try to go often.
