The Gang's all Here

It was very cold over Christmas (in the -20s C) - coldest weather I have experienced for several years.  However it warmed up Friday the 28th and is much better now.

Darwin and Amber left to go back to Lehi this morning.  Bob and I are alone and it is very quiet at our house.

Bring it on!

The tree is decorated (Thanks Nathan, Tara and boys), the Christmas cake baked, the buttertarts ready, and the gifts wrapped.  We are ready.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Cardston Temple

Yesterday we drove to Cardston and went to the Temple.  It was a cool, windy day, but no snow and the roads were clear.

It warmed up today, but this is supposed to be the warmest day for a while and there may be snow showers on the week-end.

Last week we attended the Stringam Denecky Christmas party - the first one I have been to for 4 years.  The firm has grown and I didn't know a lot of the people. 

On Saturday we watched Courtney and Taylor play basketball.  They were both high scorers for their team.

We tried out a new restaurant in the city.  It was called Cafe Verde.  We were told it was like Cafe Rio, but the food wasn't as good.

December Already

On Saturday the 27th we hurried home from Calgary and worked on talks for church the next day.  Whew - that is over with.   Then we gave a presentation about our time in Nova Scotia the following Monday at a different family home evening group.

We were able to attend the Cardston Temple the last Wednesday in November.

Our ward Christmas party was the 1st December and we had an enjoyable time.

Last Wednesday we spent four hours at LCI watching Courtney & Taylor play basketball.  They both play very well.

Nathan and family arrived Thursday night and we had them until Sunday.  Sue-anne, Langley & Carter came in Friday for supper.

 Our Family Home Evening group had the Christmas dinner on Monday. 

It is snowing again.
