Christmas Eve recital turned into a Christmas Day recital this year. We had Christmas Eve dinner at our house with my parents. The Goodsell's stopped by later but we wanted to get more performers involved so we put it off a day. Ally, Tyler and Carter all performed a Christmas piece for us. I played Silent Night on my Ukulele. My Dad read us some cowboy poetry. Nathaniel and Chortney did a duet on their Ukuleles. Amanda and Josh played guitar and sang. Wilma and Sonja played a duet and Sonja and Amanda played Sleigh Ride. It was a nice night concert. All except the cowboy poetry, that was just disturbing. Apocalyptic would describe it well. Nice that Dad contributed though.
I pulled a play card out of Byron's deck and took the kids skiing without him. Sorry honey, you have to work! At least until May 15. We met Sonja and her kids up at Alta for some cousin fun. No lines, nice powder. Great day. Could have been warmer but I'm not complaining too loudly, just softly. Rachel is in pink, Ty is in green, Christopher is the black suited man, Carter has the green and grey shapes and Ally is white coat, pink helmet.
Stole another photo off Facebook. I fell in love with this shot of the new Provo Temple. Amazing morning sun reflecting off a fountain pool. Didn't take it myself though.
Ally and I met Byron for lunch. Gotta love a Potbelly's sandwich and a chocolate malt. Fun to bring Ally along on a date.
Lucky for us my parents clients cancelled on them last minute and they called us to fill in at the Jazz Game suite. We somehow managed to almost loose to the Philadelphia team who ranks last in the NBA league. Not just last this year but the worst team in the history of the NBA. Glad we pulled out a win or that would have been REALLY embarrassing. The fourth quarter though was exciting and fun to watch especially since we did scrape by with the win.
New Year's Eve Party at our place. Guesstures, Taboo, Blink, Monopoly in the basement that took two days for the kids to finish (Rachael won.) The fireworks were the highlight of the night though. The first one tipped over and came flying at us. It hit Charles on the shoe and exploded amidst all of us. Heaven must have intervened because no injuries were sustained. It did make for a very exciting show. Our roof and our neighbors house were also hit. These ariel fireworks are serious business. Thanks to Chuck and Lisa for supplying the awesome show!
My camera is terrible in the dark but this is us watching the fireworks go off. It was bitter cold out.
Back inside for hot chocolate and a ball drop. We drank more Martinelli's than should be legal. Luckily it comes hangover free. Good company-Fun night!
