Sunrise: 9:24 a.m. Sunset: 3:48 p.m. That is a little over 5 hours of official sunshine today. Accounting for the fog in the morning, and the clouds on the southern horizon in the afternoon, we actually saw sun for a little over 3 and one half hours. The low temperature this morning was -36 degrees C and the high was -26 degrees C (-33 F to -15 F), which was significantly better than yesterday.
So to celebrate, we had the missionaries over for Prime Rib Dinner.
Elder Rowley from Saint George, Elder Tengelson from Boseman, Montana, and those Simpson boys.
Jacob and his posse. The Elders sang for the Young Women in church the other day, and only 2 girls swooned and fainted (just kidding)
This is how we recruit helpers to clean up after a pretty good meal.
Our home teacher brought over some goodies for the family
Sam was elected to go get the mail. The California in these boys dies hard, although I think the snow board boots and the parka are cheating.
The boys and few of their closest friends were invited to a decorating party today. There were sugar cookies, gingerbread people, and decorations of every kind. We were reminded of the years sharing fun with the Hopkins family and all the other friends caroling, and making gingerbread houses.
Some of the spoils of the day.
Rebecca, the hostess, with her version of her husband and herself.
Samuel decorating in grand teenage style, or the "I can put more stuff on my cookie than you can, so give up you amateur" style.
The basics
The end results. Rebecca and daughter Victoria.
And daughter Kate.
Sam cleans up after himself. just kidding. He did help out with the mess left by some of the crayon gang. Thank you Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
The Flying Tomato as seen by a fan (Samuel). Note the fine detail on the Burton snow board, the matching pants and parka of the USA snow board team, and the now famous shock of red hair.
Michelle and I. Notice the painted nails, and the brown Redwing work boots.
