So Mike found out on Monday that he got the Thursday and Friday before New Years off, not just Friday. Since we have tons of friends here in Utah it was a really hard decision to decide to go to Idaho. NOT! My Dad and brothers and sister hadn't met Stuart yet so we thought we would surprise them. But, Everyone was kinda sick so I ended up having to call and tell my mom to see how everyone was doing and see if we should still bring Stu to all of the sicklings. Of course she was very excited for us to come so we did!
We went to Mike's parents for the first couple of days and they didn't know we were coming so it was a surprise! Lisa got the worst of the surprise when Mike scared her coming into the door from the adventure center...she started crying!! Poor Lisa has such a mean big brother! We hung out with them all day and it was so much fun! We had shrimp for New Years Eve dinner which just happens to be the same thing that we had for New Years Eve last year too so we have a new little tradition without even thinking about it! On Friday Ida, Lisa and I made these cute word blocks that Ida had started at her sister party. She is so nice to always make a set of all of the cute things they do for me and then one for Jeff's "mystery women"!
Then we went up to Rexburg where everyone was recovering from their colds, but that didn't stop them from going sledding behind the Dad's car! I think they had 5 ropes tied behind Dad's car and he would pull them around the church parking lot! Luckily no one lost any teeth...so far! It was so fun to be home even just for the weekend everyone gets so much bigger everytime we go back. Joe looked bigger, Jake looked taller and Kjel got his patriarchal blessing! Thanks for having us families!
