Wow! What a great Holiday!

We had such a great holiday season together.  The kids were back from BYU for the whole time.  We had Grandma and Grandpa Kenner over for a lunch on Christmas Eve because they don't like to be out after dark.  That gave us the evening with our own family.  On Christmas Day we had fun watching Kyle with his presents and everyone was happy with what they got and happier with what they gave.  It was exciting for me to watch my married children surpise each other and to watch all of my children exchange names and plan carefully how to surprise the person they gave a gift to.  We spent time at Grandma and Grandpa Fernelius' house with all the family on Christmas Afternoon.   Rob's niece Courtney and her family were here from Pennsylvania for three weeks.  WE had the opportunity to have lunch with them one day.  On the 27th Rob's brother Hal flew in from Minnesota for a week.  On the 28th Courtney and Matt had arranged to have their son Riley ordained a deacon in Matt's parents ward and we were able to be there.  On Tuesday the 30th Rob and Hal and I spent most of the day at the Bountiful temple.  The guys did initiatory work, but I did a session because the women said it was too busy for me to do the initiatory.  Then we had lunch together and did another session.  It was awesome, especially since we were doing family  names mom had given me.  New Year' Eve we celebrated with our family Brittany's birthday.  On New Years Day we had 35 of Rob's family over, including two cousins and their families - that was 45 people with our family!  Saturday we attended Jackie and Travis' son Gavin's baptism.  Today we are all back to our regular activities.  Stephanie and Nathan are back in Provo at school, Daniel is back to school and eveyone else is back at work.  Kyle and I have our time to hang at home.  I have costumes to make by Saturday for Daniel's productions revue the end of the month.  It is all Disney if anyone is interest in coming, I will post dates later.  We are very thankful for the family we have and the good times we will all remember.
