December and January 2009 - Lots of Activities

We had a great series of events in December and January which were very special to our family. There are too many pictures to fully describe but we I think you will be able to get the feel for these events from the pictures. We were delighted to have Karen and Brandon Plaster visit us from Seattle.

December 19, 2009

We had a wonderful celebration of Brigham's 11th birthday.
Don't be too concerned with Brigham's University of Utah shirt. As seen later, he still has good feelings for BYU.



Sandra and I were happy to be there.

We went to Brighton for a family ski day.



Brigham on the snowboard.



Alicia on skis.







Jacob on a snowboard




Be sure to look at the video at the end of the skier and snowboarder.



Brandon was a good sport as he was much better at his snowboarding than any of the rest of us. At least he got to the top of the mountain once.



We had some good times at the cabin, but the water froze which put a real change in our plans. Still everyone was a good sport. Clint was the chef for a great dinner.



Lots of fun at Brighton.

Greg and Chris invited us to visit and watch the University of Utah versus California Poinsettia Bowl game. We had been to Lisa and Clint's the previous day for the BYU versus Oregon State Las Vegas Bowl.



We always welcome Utah fans.



During the game we were visited by the Karate Kids. See their video at the end.

Looks like fun, I am glad we could be part of some of it through iChat. I was just thinking our last Christmas there was in 2006 when Wyatt was a baby, maybe next year.
