New Years!

Ending 2015 with a bang!

My aunt Janet from Tennessee came to visit during the Christmas break. I haven't seen her since High School and she's never met our kids. It was so fun for them to see that Grandma Bev has a sister. We had lunch and showed her our home. Later, we went down to Sandy and went sledding with all the cousins. Then we had a seafood dinner at Sizzlers. Then we went to This is the Place Heritage Park for an Old Fashioned Candlelight Christmas. We went to a party at Grandpa's that week, to Temple Square to see the lights, and then of course we had our New Year's Party!
