Christmas is coming and so is the cross country skiing. 

We had a Christmas Party with friends at Walters. The food was amazing. It was such a beautiful setting with all of the Holiday touches. 

Our Christmas flower from Marilyn Beech was so beautiful. It bloomed such huge white flowers. It finally fell over from the weight. I cut the blooms and it continued to bloom until the end of January. 

On the weekend before Christmas we dashed over to Boise after Jeff worked in the office until noon. We had a Christmas party with Clark's, Baldwins and Hurst's. Everyone opened their gifts which is a trip to Newport Beach for everyone. It will be all inclusive. It will be so much fun. 

Lauren and Rachel face timed in to the party. 

 Three days later Jeff worked Christmas Eve in the office until noon. We drove to Idaho Falls to catch out plane to St George for Christmas Eve and stay until January 2nd. Alas we missed our connection in Salt Lake City because the person in IF could not correctly deice the plane. We were stranded in SLC with out our luggage or a car. So we called Rachel to come and pick us up. We decided to go get a nice Christmas Eve meal but everything was closed. So we went to Little America. We ate at the counter because there was a couple of hours wait for a table. It was fun. Rachel shocked us and ordered a Rubin sandwich. She then took us to get some toothbrushes and deodorant. We visited everyone Christmas morning. Headed back to the airport in the late afternoon to catch our flight to St George finally. Crazy Christmas. We were pretty stressed at first but all was well in the end. 

Merry Christmas!

 The first day in St George was warm enough to eat outside but after that it got pretty cold. 

 There was ice around the pool. 

 There was lots of snow on the mountains. 

We made trip to Las Vegas with Byron and Diana to see the Mob Museum. It was very interesting with all sorts of things related to the Mob. Another year has passed. We went back to Idaho where it was very cold and wintry. Happy New Year!
