Good, Good Friends While we were away for our Christmas vacation, we zigzagged all over the place!  From La Grande we traveled to Utah to attend the sealing of Nick and Erika Blas.   We arrived Friday night the 26th and had the opportunity to catch up with Lori Jo and her family before attending the sealing on the 27th.  The sealing was in Bountiful and it was such a privilege to be part of it.   We also loved who the event brought together and for the opportunity to spend time with old friends that afternoon.

From Bountiful we headed to Provo where we spent the next day and a half with our favorite little girls and good friends, the Hardings.  We miss them terribly and loved being able to hang out with them.  We built forts, made cut out cookies, did a little sledding in the 8 inches of fresh snow and even visited the Provo Rec Center.  Us with Abby and Ivy Abby has been telling us about that swimming pool for months, so we finally went.  It's no wonder she loves that place.  I've never seen an indoor pool like it.  Not only was there a pool, but a water playground, jumping ledges, rock climbing wall above one of the pools, two water slides and a lazy river!  Incredible!

We certainly enjoyed our brief stay with the Hardings and before we left made plans to see them again. Only next time we will rendezvous in Zions National Park!  We are so grateful to have them in our lives and were sorry our time with them was so short!
