December 2012

Finally, it snowed!

Halie's 2nd grade class Christmas program

Christmas Eve we drove to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point instead of Temple Square, since it was snowing and cold, and we could stay in our car and drive through the lights.  Sheila's kids enjoyed that a lot.  Afterwards, we came home to open jammies under the tree.  Later in the week I was able to read the nativity story and have the grandchildren help with the pieces.

Ready for Christmas morning.

Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk!

Jordan, 20 months, more into it this year than last.

 

 Christmas Day we all met at Rosie's new townhouse to open gifts to each other.  Nine of the ten grandchildren pictured; Maren (5), Makenna (3), Hayden (10), Tyler (10), Tanner (7), Kristin (12), Camron (9), Lexi (3), and Halie (7).

 My parents arrived from California the day after Christmas, and we met at our church for dinner, music, other activities, and birthday cake for my mother's 86th birthday.

My parents, Rosemarie and Don Twogood

 Tyler played a Christmas piece on the piano.

 Kristin sang "Angels We Have Heard On High" with my parents harmonizing with her.

 Kristin and Rosie also sang "When Christmas comes To town" from Polar Express.

 Camron played "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" on his new Ukulele.

 Dave and family sang a Christmas song with bells jingling.

 The grandkids then danced along to a "Gummy Bear" song.  They also had a handstand, cartwheel and running contest.

 Our 10 grandchildren.

 The "greats" all together

 All of us except Rosie's husband, David, who was working.

 Rosie made a cake for my mother.

 

 New Years Eve day we got together with Dave and Jenn at the Classic Fun Center, then went to lunch at Red Robin.

Always a treat having son Dave and family in town.  Miss them a lot.
