Dress Ups and Dancing

Trying to stay entertained through the winter!

New Mexico

We took a short trip to New Mexico to visit Bitsy. The roads were a bit scary at times, but John's expert driving got us there and back safely.

Of course, swimming at the hotel was the best part of the trip for all of the kids!

We did manage to visit a few sites!

Ice Fishing

John introduced us to ice fishing this winter.

We all actually had fun and liked it!

It was beautiful at Strawberry Reservoir.

New Year Eve 2009

We celebrated New Years Eve with our cousins. Each time the clock struck the hour we celebrated the new year with a tradition from another country.

Thanks to our wonderful Aunts we had a terrific time!

We loved the live nativity.

We all enjoyed the beautiful lights at Temple Square and a horse drawn carriage ride!
