Trissa comes for Mariah's Baby Shower

Wednesday morning Trissa and Gavin flew into Spokane. It snowed last night and the roads are snowpacked and the plows were out. William and I headed out right after seminary and we got to the airport at 9:55, a little late but we made it. We shopped for the baby shower in Spokane and then met Laura, Craig and Kendra at Olive Garden for lunch. They came to Spokane Wednesday so they could see Trissa, Gavin, William and I before their move to Utah. They stayed with James and visited with Jordan and Mariah. Thursday night they picked up Craig's parents at the airport and drove back to Richland. They packed up and headed to Boise Friday and on to Salt Lake on Saturday. They are now in their new apartment and Craig starts work Monday.
Trissa and Gavin came home with William and I and we began our preparations for Mariah's baby shower. Trissa worked all day Thursday and Friday morning before returning to Spokane for the shower. Audra hosted it at her house and made a wonderful cake and served yummy punch. We had a great turnout of 20 people and had a wonderful time. Trissa's decorations and games and prizes were great. She is a great party planner.
Trissa and Gavin spent the night at Jordan's and Mariah took them to the airport early Saturday morning.
Meanwhile Jeff has been working hard and he has finished putting the drywall on the ceiling.

Bring in the New Year

The week after Christmas Jeff worked on putting the 2" foam in the ceiling and sealing it. Jordan and Jeffrey helped put in the fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. The weather has been really cold. We are very grateful the insulation is in the ceiling. The temperature on Thursday and Friday were below 0 and the new part of the house stayed just above freezing.
We enjoyed playing video games and eating yummy food. The women crocheted booties, hats, dresses and purses.
