Winter 2011/12 Top Ten

Here's the TOP 10 winter list I made before the season began...now I'm ready for spring! Goodbye weird winter!

1. Go to the mountains to pick a Christmas tree
DONE over Thanksgiving weekend along with Grandpa T., Gideon & Alyssa, and Malachi.



2. Go sledding with family/friends.
DONE, but unfortunately our family only went once on New Year's Eve day with Malachi, Gideon & Alyssa.





3. Go to Utah over Christmas Break.
DONE, and we had a fabulous time ice skating with Mick's family, having a white elephant party with my siblings, going to Temple Square, and looking at lights.




4. Deliver Christmas goodies to neighbors.
DONE. We delivered homemade applesauce and cinnamon/sugar jars for two nights to our friends and neighbors.

5. Spend Christmas morning together at home.
DONE, and loved every minute of it.



6. Party for New Year's.
DONE. The New Year's Eve party at Ed & Kathy's was very quiet this year, (except for the lighting of our fireworks outside), and the Tolman's won the radio contest again! We had a New Year's Day party, and I enjoyed the whole evening (except the moment that Kanyon pooped his pants just as all the guests were arriving).




7. Celebrate Ammon's birthday.
DONE. That was one noisy night filled with pre-teen boys, but he had a great time. I can't believe my oldest son is now 12.



8. Build a snowman.
DONE, but just once...over Thanksgiving weekend which is the only time we had enough snow to make one. Josh and the boys built a tall one with an empty garbage can, and it was awesome!


9. Celebrate Kanyon's birthday.
DONE. We went swimming, ice skating, stayed at a hotel, went shopping, and ate at his choice of restaurants. It was a fun family party.


10. Have a couple's vacation for Valentines.
DONE. Josh was actually out of town on Valentine's Day, and I had students' musical peformances that day, but Josh was really sweet and sent me flowers to commemmorate 14 years since the day he proposed! We had a couple's vacation over President's Day weekend to Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah. It was so nice to spend time alone with him!
