New Years in St. George

We decided to go visit my sister, Karen, and her husband, Lance, in St. George over New Years. Our plan was to avoid cold weather and visit with family: Mission Accomplished! My mom also came up from Las Vegas while we were there and Karen and Lance live with Lance's mom, two dogs, and a cat. It was a full house and lots of fun for everyone.

Lyndie found these dancing snowmen on the dining room table and did those over and over and over. We let her do it, because it was about the only thing that made her happy. She came down with a bad fever the first night we were there and it stayed the whole rest of the time.

For some reason, Jeremy was tired after we got there and fell asleep on the couch.(notice that everything in this house is white or made of glass.) I did panic when I walked in with three kids: 6,4, and 2, but they didn't break anything! I am so proud!

Logan and Mallory found a basket of ornaments and decorated a tree that desperately needed it. Grandma Marilyn, Lance's mom, was so pleased that they did this. And Mallory and Logan were very proud of their creation.

This is Grandma Marilyn, Mallory, Logan and Kayla the dog. They have another dog that had to be kept away due to nervousness around the kids. Mallory especially loves animals and LOVED Kayla very much!

Mallory and Kayla. I guess you can say they are cousins?

Mallory had a lot of fun playing the Wii with Uncle Lance. She is pretty good too.

Boys always find something to do don't they?

Even Grandma Helen got in on the Wii action. (Again notice the white chairs, white floors and glass table):) YIKES!

It was a very fun trip and nice to just get away from normal life. We were able to go outside each day with no jacket and run around on the tennis courts in the sun! It was great! I have come to realize how much I love the sun and need more of it. So, we will definitely be going back this spring to swim when it's still freezing where we are.
