We all wanted to see the new movie, Les Miserable. The only day we could work it in was Thursday. We also wanted to have lunch at Café Rio. As usual, the restaurant was incredibly crowded. But they serve so fast that the wait wasn’t very long and we enjoyed a great lunch. Then Tucker, Jamie, Neal and I long with the kids, drove out to Stansbury, picked up Jeff and Lynda Ann leaving Emmi and Mallory in charge of all the kids. The movie was incredible and we all want to see it again. We left Lynda Ann’s about 6:30 and headed to Wendy and Norms for the cousins Christmas gathering. We called Maren and told her we were on our way so she could meet us there. It was fun for Maren and Tucker to get to spend some time visiting with cousins they haven’t seen for years.
Jamie was playing Mallory’s new piccolo that she got for Christmas. I was amazed that Jamie could remember how to play the instrument. I played the clarinet from 6th grade through my junior year of high school and I couldn’t make one good sound on it now or even remember the fingering.
It has been so fun to have CJ with us during the holidays. We spent many hours visiting with CJ and catching up on his life. Last night we were up until 2 a.m. just talking. We missed seeing Justin and we are hoping that both of them will be able to come to the family reunion this summer.
And, of course, sleep overs are a must. Abby and Hayley were going to stay but at the last minute they decided that home was where they wanted to be. Andrew went over to Jeff and Mindy’s to spend the night with Grayson.
