Happy 40th Birthday to Kim!
Playing Rockband with the guys.
Brian fixed breakfast casserole for Kim's birthday breakfast. Instead of using ham he used sausage and bacon and green chilies. It was very yummy! He showered Kim with gifts and in my estimation is a very thoughtful husband. We gave her a giftcard to Cheesecake Factory.
James took Darrel's kids back to Chocolate Lake. This time he takes the Razr, pulling a sled behind, onto the lake.

Can I just say how grateful I am to James for taking these kids out and showing them a good time. He also took the older boys up to Negro Knoll and they saw 60 elk and then he took them riding down the pit in the snow. He has spent so much time with grandkids this week and I am so grateful to him!
While James was gone with the kids I worked on my blog and caught up on some of my 2013 reading. I finsihed Our Heritage, the Lorenzo Snow manual, and the Book of Mormon for the 8th time this year.
For most of the day we just hung out with family and relaxed.
Doing puzzles.
Watching a movie.
Addy and Rowan wanted to watch Iron Giant but Ruby wanted to watch Despicable Me2 again. Addy and Rowan won so Ruby carried her movie upstairs, climbed up on her bed and went to sleep with her arm around it. She missed all of the New Year's celebrations but at least she got a good night's sleep.
This evening around 6 pm. James and I went to a potluck New Year's Eve party at Collin and Wendy Dewitt's. I took sausage stuffed mushrooms and some cheese bread. The mushrooms were a hit, especially with Jimmie Applegate who asked for the recipe. After a delicious potluck dinner everyone was directed to write the name of a famous person on a slip of paper and Wendy put them all in a bowl. It was men against the women and we took turns drawing names and giving hints as to who we were. The best was Mel Wilhelm who put James's name in the pot. He acted like he was using a walker and said: This guy hangs around Vernon and is on the high council.
Those attending the party: Us, the Dewitts, Mel and Ruth Wilhelm, Bishop and Denice Hall, Dave and Rosa Westbrook, Jimmie and Tamara Allegate, Blain and Diana Curtis, Brother and Sister Mayfield, Sean and Stefani Hunsaker, and Kip and Alicia Hunsaker, April Allen, Audrey Guerrero, Julie Wilhelm, the Vaughts, the Woods', the Peeler's, and Elder Boyer and Elder Westover. It was a fun evening but we left early to get back to celebrating with Kim.

Back at home we played Five Crowns, ate cake and ice cream, and watched Darrel's fireworks show.
Happy New Year!
