Final Holiday Events and Pictures

This is our last Holiday posting on the blog. We had a wonderful birthday for Grandpa Dick. There's a picture of Spencer and Preston helping him blow-out his candles.

We had a dinner for the siblings at our house and then everyone went to Sean and Jana's house for dessert and games. Sean and Jana have some great games and a huge house so it was a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. Sean and Jana have some cool electronic games--baseball, tennis, boxing, etc. It was a lot of fun playing those games.

We had a cookie baking contest followed by tributes to Dad and a thanks from Dad. All left feeling grateful for Grandpa Dick.

We also had Brian and Mindi over on Christmas to help finish the leftovers and we've got a cute shot of Jaimee.

Christmas events

Hello All,

Chris finished his Phd and arrived in Utah several days before Christmas. He had a "wonderful" 20 hour trip on the train. It is great to have him here with his family.

We had a fun party at Brian and Mindi's house. We had a great dinner followed by a white elephant gift exchange and games.

We also had a Christmas eve dinner with Prime Rib followed by a game, "Guess who said this"--extracts from my journal with funny things the kids said and music by Kaelynn.

Here are some pictures of the events.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas

Ain't they cute!

California wickedness has spread....

While "babysitting" Spencer and Preston today, Spencer told me shocking news, he said:

"No, Grandpa we don't say prayers in our house"

As if this weren't bad enough he also said,

"We don't brush our teeth" Funny thing--why do each of the boys have tooth brushes?

If any of you know how to reclaim these poor lost souls, please give us your ideas....
