A visit from the Swains....

December started out the best way possible. My whole family together again. Jennie and her family came to spend a week with us. They arrived late on Nov 30th and stayed until Dec. 6th. We had to share their time with many people, but it was so great having them here. And it was fun to see the "cousins" all back together again. The one thing that the little kids all wanted to do was go to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. So, Jennie, ReyAn and I packed up the kids and off we went. They had a ball!!!

That evening, the whole flam damily, including Eric & Cris Beidler and Kenny Swain, headed to Salt Lake for a cold, but festive evening of food and lights. We had a great mexican dinner at the Rio Grande Restaurant and then caught Trax over to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cold. About 17 degrees!!! We made a quick trip around the grounds, then back on Trax to get into our cars and head home. We had a great time. It was a terrific day and evening. Nice to have all my family together after so many months.
The next night, we were able to get together again to play games and just hang out. The next day was a quick one getting Jen's family packed up to go home. My parents made it home from their cruise Saturday night and came straight from the airport to see them before the left Sunday morning. Hard to see them go. However, they weren't too unhappy about leaving the snow behind! We had good times, made great memories. I love my family!!!
