Sunday night we gathered at Emily & Matt's for dinner. I visited with the kids while there and we had fun playing with the various effects on google hangout. The kids were much more interested in who was a puppy or was wearing a headband than in talking to me, but I had fun seeing their faces and hearing their little voices. I was excited to get a bit of a break from the kiddos, but they were pretty much all I talked about while I was gone.

Melanie, Mom and I made a quick trip to Provo before our flight home Monday. We visited campus and I felt old because so much has changed. They tore down my dorm! Luckily I was able to visit with my good friend and former roommate Candace who is a stats professor. Catching up with her was fun and reminded me that even though buildings and roads may change, the friendships and memories I made will last forever.

Anthony didn't shave while I was in Utah (or for a few days before I left) and he had the beginnings of a beard when I got back. Our wonderful neighbor gave the kids art supplies for Christmas and Will used one of the markers to draw a beard on himself.

Will is 5! We celebrated by going out to dinner at Red Robin with my parents and Melanie. The wait staff serenaded Will with a birthday song and treated him to a cup of ice cream which he generously offered to share with everyone.

Thursday we woke up to a fresh blanket of snow. There wasn't much, but it did keep us busy for close to two hours in the morning and another hour and a half in the evening. Will loved building snowmen and having snowball fights. Lauren loved eating snow, proclaiming, "It tastes like WATER!" as she shoved fistful after fistful in her mouth.

Will has been having a blast trying out all his new birthday presents. Anthony took him on for a game of bean bag tic-tac-toe and Lauren supervised.

TJ, Andrew, Melanie, Jill and Laura will be singing "Angels We Have Heard on High," in church tomorrow and spent some time practicing this evening. Will and Lauren loved hearing the music and joining in on the chorus.

Glad you had a good trip out to Utah. And I'm just slightly jealous that Tony is home enough to make it into 4 pictures this week. Don't mind me, just missing the husband a lot this month. :)
I always want to visit Provi, but I was afraid I'd feel the same way. When Cameron's brothers talk about it, I feel so old. Did you live in DT? They tore down my dorm while I was still there.
"It tastes like WATER!" kids are so funny. I can't wait to see Lauren and hear more quotable things.
