Birthdays and Grandkids

Happy Birthday to Craig! Craig celebrated his 60th, yes 60th, birthday on January 6th. Since it was on Tuesday, he was in Rexburg doing the bishop meeting thing. So I decided to surprise him with his favorite--German chocolate cake and ice cream. I was going to take it to Rexburg, but yet again, the roads were very bad, so I sent it up with his counselor. He took it to one of the apartments that they were visiting that night. When they went into that apartment, everyone started singing Happy Birthday...including Craig. He said he was a little embarrassed when they sang, 'Happy birthday, dear bishop,' and he realized it was for him. He was pretty surprised and very happy to have something to eat besides a Big Mac on his birthday.

Saturday, we had another surprise!! We came home from seeing a real movie in a real movie theater to many messages on the answering machine from Rob and Emily's kids. They were in Ririe! Their grandma Carolyn went to Colorado on Dec 30th and brought the kids to Logan so they could start school the first of the year. (Rob and Emily are moving all their stuff to Logan this coming weekend) So Carolyn brought the kids up to a birthday party for a cousin and to see us! We were very happy to hug and kiss the little dears (:D) I am so excited to have them close enough to drive to see rather than having to take a plane. Rob says we'd better go see them a lot while they are there as who knows where in the world they will be after he graduates in June.
