We had a wonderful Christmas. Ben and Aubrey came, bringing
three of our wonderful grandchildren with them. It really
made Christmas fun for all of us. We had a bowling party, a
Christmas eve talent night (Chad and Britt played a duet,
"Still, Still, Still" that was the talent winner), visits
to Hopes and Bensons, our missionary phone call from Treagan,
eating our Christmas eve feast to candlelight, presents, games,
lots of food... we truly missed Carly's family and Treag but
we are proud of the good things they are doing and hope that
we will have many more Christmas's together.

Christmas Bowling Party Surprise 2009
We had started a tradition of going bowling with the
Neilson family sometime during the Christmas holidays
three or four years ago. Then two years ago, we added
the Parkinson family to our party, since we've been good
friends with them forever and Kurt Neilson married
Michelle Parkinson. Britt and Chad kind've did some
flirting at that bowling party and started dating
shortly after that and are now married. This year
we added the Sutton family to the Bowling party since
Ben and Luke Sutton are best friends and Luke is married
to Lisa Parkinson, who is also one of Carly's best friends.
(we are all connected!) We had six lanes with 5 or 6 on
each lane. We all brought pizza and an assortment of
sides including, fruit, veggies, banana slush and
chocolate chip cookies. Yum! We had lots of food
and a ton of bowling and visiting fun. We were
surprised when it came time for each family to pay
for bowling.... a Christmas elf had snuck in and paid
for all six lanes of us! Thank you so much Christmas Elf!
