A White Christmas...

I am posting some pictures from Christmas. We traveled to Drumheller a few days before Christmas so Elizabeth could see her Great Great Grandparents. We spent four days in Golden at the ski resort with Barbara and Lockey's family, and had a wonderful time. The skiing was fabulous, and the company was excellent. The gingerbread houses were second to none, and we had a rousing game of Apples to Apples. We ate "on top of the world" (Eagle's Eye Restaurant) on Boxing Day. A highlight of Christmas Day was being able to visit with Elder Craig. He is currently serving in Vancouver, Washington. Upon arriving home, we hosted my siblings and parents for a day, and then saw Kipp's Mom on Sunday and his Dad on New Years. Ashley and Trevor arrived back home safely from their trip to Wyoming for Christmas

FB Adventures...

We volunteered at the Food Bank tonight. We have been going quite a bit over the last few months, helping Ethan to get his Duty to God Award. We are going to keep going once a month. We enjoy being able to spend the evening together doing something good. Most of the time we go "shopping". That means we fill the hampers with the appropriate items for a balanced diet for a week. Tonight I added tuna and pasta sauce. Ethan did toilet paper and crackers. Kipp did cereal. Sometimes we are runners, or we check best before dates. The crates run down a conveyor belt, and each person adds their item. A few weeks ago I did drinks. It was so stressful! It took me awhile after the shift to start breathing normal again. One week we sorted food that was also a little scary...It all made me feel a little like Lucy. I found the clip to share. You may have seen this before. I remember seeing it as a little girl.
Enjoy!

Global Warming?!

BRING IT ON!
It is November 16th. No snow in sight. I have just been outside in a sweater. It is wonderful!
I am absolutely LOVING this weather.
No complaints from me.
