At the beginning of this year we have so much to be grateful for. Heavenly Father has truly blessed us so much! We have our health, our home, the love we have for each other, our jobs, our little Gemma, family and friends, and most of all the gospel! A few of our New Year Resolutions for this year are to get out of debt, be a better husband and wife, gain a testimony & grow stronger in the gospel and closer to our Heavenly Father, and to get healthier and in shape.
The Sunday after Christmas we left to come back home. We brought along Paige, Cam, and their friend Rachel. They stayed with us for a week. While here Cam and Rach had fun making hats, they even made one for Gemma! We were even able to celebrate the New Year with them. We went down to St. George and ate at a place called Pirate Island Pizza. The food was really good I thought, especially the breadsticks. The inside of the restaurant was really neat! They had a cave entrance with skeletons everywhere, a swamp, a tiki hut, a skull rock, and a huge pirate ship with cannons that went off with lights and smoke, and they even had a thunder and lightning show with sounds and effects. It was so much fun to see everything! After we went & played blacklight miniature golf. It was so fun! Cameron was being kind and helpful by hitting everyone's ball into the hole except for his. They had a lot of fun posing with the hole themes. I laughed so hard the hole time! Next we went to First Night which is a huge outdoor party thrown by St. George City. They had Rock Band contests, rockwall climbing, a skating rink, rides, food, and a lot of other things. We all signed our names on a big wall, took lots of pictures, and walked around and looked at everything. Rachel bought Cam a lightsaber that he absolutely loved. She also climbed the rock wall. When we were heading back to the car they started off the fireworks. We couldn't see much cause the parking garage was in the way - but what we could see they were awesome! We then came home and played games until 2a.m. It was a really great New Years!
The next day mom came down. It was so fun having her here. She even played Mario Kart with us on the Wii. It was sooo funny watching here drive. She didn't do well but she gets an A for effort! I was laughing so hard while watching her. We all went shopping the next day. Mom helped me buy the most perfect thing! It is a little mermaid carousel sea horse! For those of you who know me I have always been in love with the little mermaid and I have collected carousels for what seems like forever.... so it totally fit me to a "T". Thanks mom!
