Ray
On Sat. this year the sledding party just went over to the church and up to the Stake Center to take advantage of the big snow hills there. Then they came back to the house for hot cocoa. I didn't sled this year, because of my back, but I did take the pictures. The kids look forward to spending time with their Dad.

Lyn's Birthday Dinner

For Lyn's Birthday Chris & Tiesha offered to grill the steaks! I only had to make homemade mashed potatoes, and the cobbler for the party.

Dinner was so good!

Lyn's birthday cards the kids made!

Lyn collects shot glasses and is always excited to get a new one for his collection.

Christmas Lights on Temple Square!

I love to go to the SLC Temple to see the lights! Usually we go down for my birthday, but this year we didn't make it until after Christmas.

It was great, because our Winterbottom(Epperson) cousins were able to meet us there. We all went out to dinner 1st at the Sizzler, then went down to see the lights.

The Nativity looked amazing in the middle of the fountain!

The Christmas Bunny

For Christmas, Grandma Susy and Grandpa Blaine got the kids a BUNNY in a Box

When they 1st opened it they were scared that it was a SNAKE.

However, after seeing it was a bunny they were Very EXCITED!

They named her Lucky Soot Epperson!

She is very soft and will live in the garage until see becomes accustom to the cold then, she will move to the back deck. She will be a good pet for our children.
