New Year's Eve Activities

Today was a really special day. We woke up to a rainy morning and headed over to the temple for the sealing of the West's children to them. Those sweet girls were adopted from Uganda, Africa and are the cutest girls and so full of vigor and life!! (Especially Grace-- the youngest!) What a sweet feeling was in that sealing room. I am so happy for the West family!!

While we were waiting for them to come out, we got some pictures with the

beautiful flowers that seemed to be soaking up all the rain and loving it!!

Grace caught in the act...picking up a rock and REALLY wanting to throw it in the water!

Grace, Maggie and Macie! What beautiful girls!!

Later on we celebrated ringing in the new year at Mom's house with a soup supper! It was the PERFECT evening for it with all the rain we had!!!! I made a tomato and vegetable basil soup and Mom made Clam Chowder. Robin made a 7 layer dip which we enjoyed with tortilla chips as an appetizer. Everything tasted SOOOOO good! Then both Brooke and Katelyn headed to their parties. Brooke went to the New Year's Eve dance and Katelyn went to a party at Sammy Holmes' house. They were both back at Grandma's house shortly after midnight so we got to enjoy them for some of our festivities of the brand new year! We rang in the New Year with style and from the comfort of Mom's house! It was fun!! We played card games until midnight in anticipation of all the festivities!
