Christmas 2009

Jordan is great at this game...he comes up with some really funny definitions.

Christmas 2009 continued (blogger only lets me export 3 or 4 photos at a time)

Lisa, Terry, Logan, and Jed, Melissa, Noelle and Lizzy, along with Matt, Lindsay, Emalise, Ellyn, and Kai, and David, Tami, Mike, and Jordan came for clam chowder and hoagies on Christmas afternoon.  We ate, played games, and the guys watched football.

She's Lovely...She's Engaged

  We were getting ready for the blessing on our Christmas Eve feast at David and Tami's when Jennifer said, "Before we start, I need to make an announcement (or words to that effect)...then she held up her hand with her diamond and her beautiful smile.  We all yelled, and Nancy ran over and gave Jen and Jeff a big hug.  Jen and Jeff Ebert told Guenther that they haven't set the date yet.

Summer's Christmas voice recital

 We got to hear Summer sing in her Christmas recital earlier this month.  She was great.

Family Fun

David and Tami invited Nancy and her girls and Guenther and me to join them for Thanksgiving in St. George.

                         We stayed at a lovely casita at the beautiful Entrada golf course.

On Saturday, Dec. 18th, we had a fun party with Guenther's family and the Crabtrees.  We were able to use David's ward house, and used the cultural hall for a great game of glow-in-the-dark volleyball.
Mike is removing some balloon decorations left by an earlier user of the cultural hall.  This had been bugging Dave, so he took advantage of the opportunity to get Mike to climb up there and fix things before everyone arrived for the party.

Making progress: A Red Letter Day

Well, we did get moved to West Point.  It has been a challenge to get our food storage and all of our other stuff unpacked from boxes and stowed in their new home.  But I'm down to two unpacked boxes, and I hope to tackle the various disorganized rooms tomorrow.  We felt so great last week when we cleared out the last of the boxes from the garage so that we could get both vehicles in.

I'm loving the sunrises and sunsets.

 

We went to Walmart on Friday and purchased some barn boots for Guenther to wear as he trudges around in the snow.
