Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! It was a busy time for our family. We spent Christmas Eve, Christmas and the day after in Newark with my Mom and Sister (and family). My brother came up from Bakersfield on Christmas day. It was a nice Christmas lots of food, presents and visiting.


The Sunday after Christmas we left for a Cabin in Heber, Utah. We drove part of the way on Sunday and the rest of the way on Monday. A long, long drive! But worth it. The cabin was fantastic. There was a ton of snow for sledding. My Sister, Mom and Brother (from CO) and families were all there. On New Years Eve we headed over to Sundance for some of the group to ski or snowboard ( or take a trip to the ER)! It wasn't the day any of us had thought it would be. The conditions (slippery/ icy slopes) weren't the best. So the skiing/boarding wasn't as fun as everyone had hoped for. But it was fun spending the day together.
It was great getting reacquainted with my Niece and Nephews from Colorado and my Niece and her baby from Utah. I hate that I don't see them as often as I would like.

We sadly said goodbye on Saturday the 5th and made the loooong drive back home.



Now it's back to the same old same old!!!


Looking ahead to the new year We look forward to Kristin and Joe getting married in April. This should a fun occasion. They are getting married in Pismo Beach. Tayor is a flower girl so we need to get her a new dress. Walt needs to get fitted for his Tuxedo.

In May we plan to take a trip to Colorado for Morgan's graduation from High School. My Mom and I were supposed to go last year for my Brother's 40th, but the plane had a cracked windshield and they cancelled the flight. We couldn't get another flight to get us there in time for the party (which was all a surprise)! So we plan to get there the day before graduation so we don't have to worry about delays!

In June, my Nephew Danny will graduate from High School - I can't believe these two are old enough to be graduating. It seems like they were just babies and youngens!!! The were so young when Walt and I got married. They passed out the bubbles to the guests, along with "BJ" aka Will! They have all grown into such nice young people. I love them all very much!

Well enough boring dialog - onto some pictures from the wonderful Holiday season we enjoyed!!!

I wish you all "enough"!

I can't believe Danny & Mo graduate this year either! I really would love to make it out to CO for that, and we'll definitely be in Newark for Danny's. I miss you! We had such a great time! I told Jake Shelby's probably going to be so bored with me at home now and won't get the amount of attention that she got last week.
