Great Sister Visit and a Baker Christmas

My sister, Tammy, came from Wyoming for some doctor's appointments.  She arrived Tuesday night just in time to miss the big snow storm that hit Wyoming.  She brought her daughter Courtney with her.

It was a fantastic visit.  She went to her appointments in Salt Lake and I went to physical therapy.  Her appointments were successful.  Her thyroid appointment showed everything is normal.  She had an appointment at St Marks with a Neurologist.  She has a herniated disk  She will have surgery on Monday to correct that. 

Thursday we spent the day finishing some of my projects and shopping.  I taught Courtney how to make English Toffee.  It was a fun day!  That evening "the kids" had a game night.  Drew (Courtney's husband) Courtney, Derek, Jessica, Alden and Cody played several games.  It was fun to watch them all interact together.

Shane was in charge of a Stake Blood Drive on Thursday.  He convinced or bribed Alden and his friend to give blood.  It was their first time.  Cody has good veins and was done in about 10 minutes.  Poor Alden has my type of veins.  After finally finding a vein, his blood just dripped.  They did all they could to make it flow faster but he was not going to do it.  It took him and hour.  I am not sure he will ever try it again.


Friday, Tammy, Drew and Courtney left for a wedding, luncheon and then went home to Wyoming.


The boys and I got ready to go to our family party at Grandma Bakers.  
It is one of our family traditions to visit Grandma Baker and celebrate Christmas.  Our entire family was there minus Luke who needed to work in southern Utah.  We opened gifts, ate wonderful food, played fun games and watched BYU win their bowl game.  We had a great time and here are pictures to prove it.
