Well, we are finally back from Colorado. It was long and emotional, but well worth it. All the girls drove out with Mother in Kathy’s mini-van. We had a great time together and visited a lot. We got to Grandpa’s house at about 5:30 pm. Grandpa is doing OK and it was great to be able to spend time with him. Aunt Elaine is completely worn out and needs a break. The next day we dragged Grandpa all around getting things done for the funeral. He was not too thrilled with planning the funeral OR being dragged around everywhere, but we buttered him up with a Snickers. The funeral was on Saturday and it was really nice. ALL the Grandkids sang “I Am a Child of God” for the opening song. Grandpa said we looked like a bunch of old people up there….thanks a lot Grandpa!!!! It was neat to have all the Grandkids up there singing together. Aunt Susan, Mother, Aunt Elaine, Uncle Larry, and Barry Schideler all spoke and Uncle Sam sang 3 songs that were beautiful. The casket was a plain and wooden….it reminded me a lot of Aunt Jeannie’s. Then after the family luncheon, the girls all drove home with JJ in tow. Check out the photo’s on Flickr.
Faith Finsand was outstanding in her performance on stage at her recent dance recital. She looked very lovely in her pink costume with such a smily beautiful face. Thanks to her mom for sharing some pictures with her grandparents in Laos and here is one for all of you. If you want to see more Andy posted some on Flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/73333305@N00/sets/72157600274588715/

This should be really fun and the more people that come the better…not to mention its a screaming deal at the 2 for 1 price. Let us know if you can make it so we can all hook up! Thanks!
So….the Christmas party at the Cooks is still planned for the 23rd. We are going to do soup and salad. The party will start at 4:30 and we will plan on eating at 5:30. Anyone who wants to come up and play on Friday is more than welcome. We can do air mattresses down in the basement and the couch downstairs does have a hide a bed. If any one wants to sleep over we can go sledding sat. morning and just play play play!!! Amy is going to do the Christmas craft with the grandkids sometime Sat night also. Don’t forget to bring your homemade gifts and cousin gifts to give. Also, bring any games you want to play. And maybe if one of the Cache Valley people could bring Grandma’s Nativity dress up stuff that would be great. Then we could do the nativity too. Let me know if you prefer to bring salad or soup…or if I don’t here from you, I’ll call and give ya an assignment. Thanks everyone…we are excited!!!
