2015 Already

We went to Taber on New Years Day.  Some of the family skated on the Moser rink and then we ate and played games.  Edward, Jackqueline, Lincoln and Miranda went back to Calgary that evening.

On Friday evening Nathan, Tara and boys arrived.  They had to drive through a blizzard to get here but made it safely.

Nathan's family went bowling in the afternoon and after supper traveled back to Calgary.

New Years Eve

On Tuesday evening Edward and family arrived in Lethbridge.  We had a quiet New Year's Eve.  Edward and Jacqueline went visiting friends in the afternoon.  Erica, Bentley and Austen left after supper to go to parties in Calgary.  Jacqueline and Lincoln went to a movie in the evening.

Back Home in Lethbridge

The days passed quickly while we were in Lehi..  It snowed last night and the roads were covered with snow this morning when Darwin drove us to the airport.

We got to Great Falls and when we looked for our car it was buried in snow.

Under the snow the windows were covered with a thick coat of ice.  The windows and the trunk were frozen shut.  It took a while to dig out and scrape the windows before we were on the I15 north to Lethbridge.  There was blowing snow and at times poor visibility, but the roads weren't too bad.  We stopped in Shelby and at the border and were home by suppertime.  My poinsettia's leaves were just about dead.  I don't know if they will come back.

Christmas in Lehi

When we got to Lehi on the 19th the weather was beautiful.

Later in the Week

Spanish Fork Festival of Lights

Yesterday we were going to go to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square.  When we got to the I15 it was backed up for miles on on lanes going north, so we went south to Provo.

Chloe wanted to go to the L L Bean museum, but when we got there it was closed for the week.  We had supper at 180 Street Tacos.  Then we drove to Spanish Fork to view the Festival of Lights.  We were glad that we went at the time we did because when we came out there were cars lined up for blocks waiting to get in.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Well it doesn't look much like Christmas outside here in Lehi.  We left the snow behind in Lethbridge on Friday and drove to Great Falls where we caught a flight to Salt Lake.  Darwin, Chloe and Owen picked us up at the airport.  On Saturday it began to rain and has been raining ever since.

It does look like Christmas inside.

In the last couple of weeks we seemed to keep busy.


One Wednesday we attended a session at the Temple.

We went to the Stringam Denecky Christmas party at the Country Club.

We attended Family Home Evening at Holts.  After dinner the group went to the LCI Choir Concert. 

We watched Taylor play basketball against LCI last Wednesday (Taber beat LCI).

 We did home teaching and visiting teaching and inspected missionary apartments.  We had a visit with Sue-anne when we did the Barnwell and Taber apartments.  We were privileged to help Sue-anne with the decorations for her ward Relief Society Party.

There were big dumps of snow two week-ends in a row.

Another Drive to Calgary

On Tuesday we drove to Calgary, visited with Jeremy on his birthday and had supper with Ross, Paulette, Jeremy's family and Austen.  We stayed overnight with Nathan and Tara and boys and stayed with the little boys while Tara went shopping on Wednesday morning. We drove back to Lethbridge on Wednesday afternoon.  Tara loaded us up with delicious caramels and chocolates - yum.

I went to Club a week ago Wednesday - good company and delicious food.

Transfer day was on Thursday - a rather large number of missionaries transfered - didn't run as smoothly as the previous.

Last night was our ward party.  We peeled, cooked and mashed twenty pounds of potatoes for the dinner.  The theme was Whoville and it was quite entertaining.

Bob was out walking this morning.  He took pictures of the lake and the "dumb geese".
