We had a really great Christmas Eve party here with our four Arizona families. We had an impromptu Nativity skit and watched the Tabernacle Choirs' rendition of 'The Friendly Beasts'. If you haven't heard the wonderful tenor sing it, you've really missed something! We had a wonderful dinner of 'Prime' rib, baked potatoes, sauerkraut with sausages, green beans and a dessert of meringues with whipped cream and Bratzeli.
Now it's time to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! We love all our friends and family very much and wish you many blessings in the New Year. We are also hoping for some babies!

Ingold Christmas Party - Dec 14, 2008

We had a good turnout and lots of fun eating and sledding afterwards. There were so many gifts from many of the family members that I had trouble keeping track of what from whom. Dustin and his wife Eden made lots of 'blocky' snowmen from 4X4's with the help of their kids, who painted. They are really cute! Thanks everyone involved with the planning and cooking! It was great fun!
Kevin, Natalie, Tyler, Hadley and Cole came up from Lehi and Saratoga Springs. Scott and Kari flew up from Mesa, as did I. We had a real taste of a 'White Christmas!'

Snow at grandpa Bruno's

My dad is shoveling lots of snow. I was there to help last Sunday (the 14th). He says he's been shoveling a lot this week too. Monica helped him one day, but he's worn out and tired of so much snow.
I will have to upload the pictures of the Ingold Christmas Party when I get it figured out. Love you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ingold Christmas Party

Last Sunday, December 14th, I was in Logan, Utah for the Ingold Christmas Party. (Ingold is my maiden name). On Saturday morning it started to snow at 7:30 a.m. By 11 a.m. my dad and I shoveled about six inches of new snow. On Sunday morning we shoveled another 2 inches of new snow. There was some question about making it up Black Smith Fork canyon to the lodge because of snow covered roads. Kevin came up with Scott and Kari, from Lehi. Scott and Kari had been helping her brother with some flooring and were up from Mesa. Natalie's family came as well. It was a lot of fun and there were so many gifts from everyone it was hard to keep track. I just handed out candy canes to the little ones. Dustin and Eden made about 30 blocky snowmen that were so cute. I had to leave mine at Kevin's because it was just too big to take home on the airplane.
After the Ingold party my 'kids' and I went on up the canyon to Hardware Ranch, where the elk gather for the winter and are fed there. However, because the first real snow had come just the day before, they were still on the mountain side and coming down to the meadow. However, we found a good place to sled and it was lots of fun, but VERY COLD!
I rode back to Provo with Kevin, Scott and Kari and had a lovely time with Theresa that night and even went with her to teach a workshop for teenage mothers on Monday morning. We met Melanie and her mother-in-law for lunch, then I went back to Melanie's where Scott and Kari picked me up a few minutes later to go to the airport for home. All in all it was a good time. Thanks everyone for all the work and help!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I took this picture in our front yard today, Dec. 8th at 5:30 p.m. We have awesome sunsets!

We had an awesome Thanksgiving and such a good time staying with Theresa, Kevin, Melanie, Eric and grandpa and having dinner and games night at Natalie's. We thank you all for your hospitality and being such great family!
Now it's time to wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS from our house to yours!
Love, Trix (mom)
