HAPPY NEW YEAR (eve)

Hey Everyone this is Daniel here blogging for the first time! (it's one of my resolutions) This New Years Eve was so much fun! We had the Carter's North come over to celebrate and watch the ball drop! We live streamed the ball dropping in New York and celebrated at 10!

Parker was attacked with kisses by the girls (I think he looks a little surprised)

Frank and Shandy greet us hello!

I got attacked with Party Attire!!!

Parker was attacked too!

Finally the BEST picture of the end of the year!

Christmas Morning

Our morning, which lasted all day into the evening, was quite delightful.

There were gifts…

for dad,
and for mom…

and the anticipation while parents where sleeping…

and then, one of the most waited events of the day...

no, not santa's arrival, but…

A skype from a missionary!

Isn't technology wonderful?

we linked skype to the tele and talked to Elder Carter for almost 2 hours.  We got to see his twinkling eyes, and hear his contagious laugh.  We even were serenaded by he and his companion Elder Konelio.  It was a wonderful duet of Silent Night.  Talk about Christmas cheer!

Then, a few more pictures to highlight the day.  Merry Christmas to you all.  We hope you are surrounded by those you love.

It was a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas to One and All!

December is here… And we love it…

Could resist standing in the street to take this picture.
We had Daniel, his date, and 3 other couples over for dinner before the Christmas dance.  It was a beautiful night in Logan.
