I just put up all my snowmen decorations..... I was hoping for a little spring weather....but not so....mother nature had a different plan.
So we got the snow plow back on the four-wheeler and got the sled out and enjoyed the day with grandchildren.
We had alot of fun....but I'm still wishing for spring weather.....it is just around the corner isn't it?
I stole these pictures off Abby's blog with a lot of technical help from Kiley. This picture of the Gary Jones' family was taken on Christmas. Our family is growing! A lot of family was missing, Dee's family was of course in Brasil but they will be arriving this Saturday for the arrival of their missionary son, Matt, who flies in on Monday. It will be good to see them. 
This picture was taken on Jan. 2, 2011. Lia was blessed this day. We grabbed the moment to take a family photo before Kiley and Eric departed for Mississippi. We have been so blessed this last year. We are grateful for our family.
For our Christmas Eve Eve we got together with the Beck family and had a wonderful dinner and played the traditional Beck Bingo. We all had a great time. 
One of the bingo prizes this year was a puppy. Sue won it and took him all the way back to Kaysville with her.
On Christmas Eve we decorated sugar cookies for Santa. And after that we delivered Christmas to a family. The family was not home so we laid everything out and it gave us all such a good feeling.
We came back home and had a delicious meal. Chad read the Christmas story and we acted out our parts. We used costumes from our ward Christmas Party so we were all decked out. We had a wonderful time with our family. Merry Christmas To All1
Things I am most grateful for are my beautiful grandchildren.
After thanksgiving our family tradition is to take down thanksgiving and put up Christmas. It usually takes all day Friday. On Saturday Chad and I went up the mountains to get our Christmas tree but the roads were so slick we almost slid off the road. I begged Chad to take me home because I was so scared. So on Monday we went up again, Pomerelle way this time, and we got our tree. We had to walk in knee deep snow for quite aways but we finally found our Christmas tree.

Burley Special Olympic Partners....these special peer tutors are the BEST. I have been so blessed to know these kids through Kristi. They give of their time to help others, feel important. BSOPPS held a halloween bowling party for the special olympic kids. They treated them with pizza and prizes. Kristi won the "Scariest Costume" award. When we got home Kristi was worried and wondered if she really looked scary. I told her no but witches are supposed to be scary. Fred Flinstone a.k.a. Alex Greener was her bowling parner.
Two of the cutest girls there happened to be related to Kristi. Melanie and Delta! We are so blessed in our family.
When we were in Mississippi with Kiley and Eric, we went to Sam's club and on the way out a lady was putting lots of groceries away in her car. Chad helped her with her groceries and then she graciously gave us free tickets to her Ceder Hills Farm. It was a great place to go, filled with farm animals to pet, corn mazes, straw mazes, train rides, pony rides, and of course a huge pumpkin patch. We had a great day. It was Aila's first outing.
If you are ever in Mississippi I recommend this place!
Aila Pierce was born September 27th. She weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces and was 21 inches long. The proud parents are Eric and Kiley and big sister Kinsley.
