December 31 2009 NEW YEARS EVE.

We all met down passed Provo at a Chinese restaurant to celebrate our traditional New Years dinner with Derek and Rita. Only Jeff, and Dan's family were there. Kathryn & Jared & Alan & Jacqui and their family's were celebrating with their In Laws. John is on his mission in Hong Kong. I and Denise and Don & boys were invited down. We had a great time together visiting and taking pictures and eating. Here is Dan & Alicia and their three little boys.














Jeff, Derek and Rita, I gave all my New Years hat's to Michelle when I moved from San Diego, so had to buy new ones. I try to get picture before they bring the food.















I am with Denise and Don and two boys Robert and Matthew.















Jeff, Derek, Rita, Alicia and Dan lined up in a row.















Here I am between Haden and Matthew. Little Gerrick was on the end and had a time keeping him in his seat.

















Food at last, and plenty of it, what a feast.















See what I mean, no one left hungry from that table.














We all came back from the restaurant and gathered at Rita & Derek's home. We played some games and at midnight Rita poured out some glasses of Sparkling Apple Cider and got ready to toast the new year in.

The year rang in, the Happy New Year 2010 Slipped in. We are all celebrating, we could hear and see fire works from out on their back porch. I wonder what 2010 has in store for all of us.















Denise and Don give a toast to one another.















Derek gives a kiss to Rita and wishes her Happy New Year. May this year be a good one for all of us.
