Quick Trip to El Paso! Jan, 23-24th

 Saturday morning early we headed to El Paso with late Christmas gifts, cases of honey and a few fresh grapefruits! LaVerl also had his electrical tools loaded so he could do a little work in Mark's new BIG outbuilding! They made their food storage area bigger and now needed to have some switches moved.

When we got there around noon, the grandkids came out running to see us! Later I just took some random pictures of what they were doing

Milea was making cookies! She is a great little cook!

 Wembley is so chatty and cute! The kids really liked the flying drone toy we got them for Christmas.

 The kids love their tablets and computers!

I also gave them all the 'fixens' for a hot cocoa bar.

  LaVerl started his electrical work. It took him a couple of hours, having to drill through walls. They have a nice storage room and a pretty good supply of food!

This is where the receptacle was inside.

This is the new one on the outside wall.

On Sunday their Bishop came over. Kaemon got advanced in the priesthood to the office of Priest and Zallen was ordained a Deacon.

Mark, Holly and kids!

On January 27th, Mark's family come to Eagar!   

We got a little snow to they decided to come from El Paso to ski and snowboard at Sunrise. It worked out good for them, I could watch Wembley and Daxxon while the rest of them played!

 

Holly had fun on the bunny hills and then went up to some harder hills. 

Wembley went up to Sunrise Friday afternoon to ski half day.

The view from the top was pretty awesome!

They had quite an adventure coming home after skiing until 4pm on Thursday. Mark didn't have their suburban in 4-wheel drive and he slid off the road into some deep snow and could NOT get out. LaVerl had to go up and 2 1/2 hours later, they finally got out! But not after prayers were answered!

That same night, Mark & Holly's best friends the Bandleys, also came from El Paso to go skiing on Friday. Just Brittany and her 3 kids.

Friday night we got a little snow, so they had to drive home for a little ways on snowy roads, but it wasn't too bad! Mark had to work and Milea had a soccer game. 

It was short and sweet, but we were so glad they could all come! 

 

Right after they left, Bret and his 4 kids got here in the afternoon.

They played in the snow too and only stayed until Sunday, but it was fun having them come too!
