Aunt Jean called for a nail appointment. After running some errands, she came over this afternoon. While I was working on her nails, she was telling me how much leftover food she had from Christmas and how she didn't know how she'd ever eat it all. She invited our family over to her house for ham, turkey, chips & salsa, crackers & cheese ball, candy, cookies... It was so yummy but even more fun to spend the evening with Aunt Jean!

It has kind of become our tradition when Simon takes the week off between Christmas and New Year's to go see a movie. There is a really cute movie playing right now called The Good Dinosaur so we loaded up the kids and Dave and saw it. I love going to the movies - especially with my family!

Another fun annual tradition - making Swiss Bratzeli's at Grandma Howard's house. We had a big crew with Jenni's kids, my kids and hubby, dad, and Grandma Howard. After all of the cookies were made, we went over to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. This is one of my favorite traditions of the year!

We had a very busy New Year's Eve. Simon has been working non-stop on home projects. He put our new bar stools together, hung the chandelier in Ricki's room along with her new curtains and her name on the wall, and today he worked on painting my pantry door! I LOVE having him home!! This evening, our family went for a walk down memory lane. Some friends from our home ward when I was a child moved into our old house. They allowed us the amazing opportunity to walk through our old house and check it out! It was amazing!! So many things are exactly the same as they were when we lived there! It was just so fun seeing it all and taking my own kids through the rooms that I lived in until I was 9. SO FUN! After that, it was off to my parent's for our usual New Year's party. We played Rock Band, the Logo Game, and ate treats. Goodbye 2015. Hello 2016!
