Then we strolled down for a quick shower. I was surprised they were on for the winter..must be heated.
On our way back home we stopped at Tai-Pan. I was excited because Sonny was excited....We'll Sonny only lasted to be exact 5 minutes and took off to wait in the car. What!!!! He was expecting something totally different!
So my tour was unfortnately short!
We then stopped in Draper where we were able to see Porter Rockwell!
I see similarities in this photo....is it Grandpa Ralph???? Oh no it's Porter Rockwell himself, a long-haired gunfighter and protector of his people! There are great stories of this man who was bodyguard of his best friend Joseph Smith. Sonny has just finished reading all 4 Porter Rockwell Chronicles so now it's my turn to enjoy his life's adventure!
We Ended our evening at the Desanitago's and a visit from the Albright's.....Where were the other Maloy's...Sick( So Sorry we really missed you guys!) My goal for 2009 is to plan a 2010 Party with them included! We've missed 2 years in a row already!
Our Argentine friends have these new year traditions.... First we ate Empanadas!
Then we did the norm and count down....3, 2, 1 Happy New Year!
We then each recieved 12 pennies. We walked out in the freezing cold to the middle of the street faced north and threw the pennies over our shoulder for good luck....it was great until Kristi threw her pennies south! I'll be praying for you Kristi!
We had a few sparklers going!
We darted inside for warmth and then recieved 12 grapes. We ate a grape and made a wish for each month....Nikko after about his 5th said..."Here mom you do the rest for me!
Happy New Year and best wished to all!

Looks like we missed a fun party... are you saying you didn't want to hang out with the Coughin' Hackin' Symphony?? I'm hoping we are finally getting over it- no fun for us! We had a very low key and mellow New Year's- and Isabelle was too funny- she was determined to stay up, and at 11:50 she announces that she is giving up... what a character, she did make it the last 10 minutes though. We're sorry we couldn't hang out with you guys though, maybe next year- ;)
