New Years 2020 & Youth Conference

     Happy New year! Let this new year and DECADE begin!

     We ended our year with some fun stuff. Greg finished the 1000 piece puzzle of Alpine with a little help from our neighbor and Charlie.

     Charlie wore one of her new dresses and looked so pretty for her last Sunday of 2019.

     Sunday night we attended the annual Kmetzsch Christmas party, which was fun as always and five of my kids got to participate in the white elephant gift exchange.

Charlie left happy, thank goodness.

McClane was also happy with his final gift.

Brock was happy and has been enjoying his box full of hot chocolate and his cool glass mugs.

     Smalls and Sapphire are definitely warming up to each other and are showing signs of being the best of friends.

     Our New Years celebration was fairly simple. Of course we never pass up the chance to serve up yummy foods and drink. We had some great neighbors stop in to help us ring in the New Year and it was a great night. 2019 wasn't bad, in fact it was pretty great, new grand baby, Mark's court case finally behind us and an amazing trip to Australia and 2020 is promising to be great as well.

Burn barrel and fireworks at midnight, what could be better!

     Our first weekend of the year was spent with the youth of our ward for a mini-youth conference that was pretty awesome. Greg and I both got to attend with the three middle kids, Isaac, Carter and Brock. There were about 65 youth and 19 adults and it was fun, well organized and held at a great facility where food was provided!

This is Carter playing a part in a skit his 'family' put together.

Isaac also played a part in his 'families' skit.

And Brock was the Deacon the campers ran from in his 'families' skit.

    We stayed at Aspen Grove, near Sundance in Provo Canyon and it's got some amazing beam and metal work in the main lodge where we held a majority of our gatherings/meetings. It was a great weekend and we have some amazing youth! I'm so grateful I get to serve amongst such great kids.

     Now we're ready for a new year of great fun and adventure. Let the fun begin!
