Grandma Lois's 90th Birthday and Date Night

Today was Grandma Lois’s 90^th Birthday party! She is such a doll and is always so kind to everyone. She still lives on her own and is still kicking butt. She loves to scrapbook and loves loves loves her car! She is the sweetest most humble lady and I just adore her. It was so great to see so many people who care about her there to celebrate with her and to enjoy the company of extended family and friends.

After the party we went on a double date with our good friends the Smith’s to the temple. As a new years resolution we are trying to make it there more often, and what better way than to go with good friends! Afterwards we went to dinner at Olive Garden. It was so nice to go out on a double date with friends.

Sunday Dinner

                                                            Hope did not want to share!

                                               Kenzie was so sweet to sit and read to Hope!

We went to Brent and Tineke’s house for Sunday dinner. Joe’s mom is such a great cook, and we love getting together with family. Brent and Tineke do this adventurous thing where they decide they are going on a trip, then they get in the car and just go. They have no idea where they will end up and they just have a blast. While they were on their trip they missed Hope’s birthday so they were so sweet to bring her back present and they sang happy birthday to her while she opened it! It was so cute, they gave her this great laptop which she won’t put down. she checks her emails, learns letters and sings along with it. While on their adventures they always bring back a little something for each of the grandkids. Hope got a tinkerbell doll that had a matching ring! She is so spoiled! So just a great night, with great food, and great company.

Valentine Cookie Decorating Party

I visit teach my friend Patrice Brown, and when Angie and I went to go visit she was getting ready for a cookie decorating party. She was so sweet to let us crash her party and it was so much fun. The kids did such a good job decorating cookies and really enjoyed eating them too.
