"Old Speedsters"

On Friday night there was a ward activity for a pinewood derby. The Scouts had their derby on Thursday night and this was for everyone else who wanted to build a car. Lots of people showed up. Dad invited Jeff, a man we met at the apartments, and Gloria, Jeff's ex-wife. They each had a car and raced them. Dad built a Spam-mobile... pretty cute and appropriate. None of these cars was the big winner but they had fun.

Alice's Baptism

We took a trip to Utah for Alice's baptism. Mike and Alissa and family came up from Parowan also. What a special day- Nate baptized Alice and then Tim confirmed her a member of The Church.

The Chapel was just about full with only 2 children being baptized. Lots of friends came.

Alice looked beautiful- I told her that she looked like a snow princess.

One of the fun things while we were there was when the kids made gingerbread (graham cracker) houses and decorated them with lots of candy. What a fun thing.

Each of the kids is proudly standing by/in front of their house. Sleds, a throne, windows, skating pond, and snowmen were all part of the creativity.
