RINGING IN 2012

We rang in the New Year up in Salt Lake City. It was a wonderful night with our family. We started the night off with ice-skating. It was really fun, but it has been a while and we all seemed a little rusty at first. It didn't take long before we were all doing pirouettes. Not really, Scott, Mitchell and myself held our own. Sadie put her whole heart and sole into it, and even though she fell on her poor little bottom a 100 times, she loved it and didn't want to stop. McKade did not think it was the greatest thing he had ever done in his life and thought the ice was way to slick. Go figure Kade, we are ice skating!
Next, we hit the pool. It was nice and warm and the kids had a blast. They swam there little hearts out for a couple of hours and by this time we had all worked up a healthy appetite to go and hit Tucano's. It was super yummy, we all ate way to much. Mitchell was brave and tried a piece of everything. Sadie could not get enough of the grilled pineapple, I think she ate a whole pineapple herself. McKade was a little hesitant at first, but after a few rounds of meat he found out his favorite thing was the spicy wings and he stuck with those the rest of the night. After all the food we needed to walk it off. We walked around the Gateway for a little while, then headed over to the festivities at the Salt Palace. It was hopping with a lot of teenagers, so we decided to walk over to Temple square and check out the lights. They were beautiful as always. It was around 11:00 so we walked back to the hotel and have a little party of our own. We played games, ate treats and watched the fireworks from our window of our hotel. It was a fabulous night and a great way to welcome in the 2012!













We are so blessed in our lives. We had a wonderful and healthy 2011 and are hoping for a FABULOUS 2012!
