Korean, Bowling, & Crepes

We have gone to Korean every year to open up the new year. Tony and Kelly have always wanted to come but have never been able to but this year they did, so we invited our little gang of best friends to join us! WE LOVE LOVE LOVE BEING AROUND THEM!!! We couldn’t think of a better way to open up the new year than with our very best friends, unfortunately not all of them could make it but we were happy some of them could!

Chris took the time to teach the kids how to use their chop sticks. They did really well!

We all caught up on movies, family, trips and work projects-our favorite thing to do….. talk talk talk!!

My biggest regret every time is not taking a group picture so this year I made sure everyone was rounded up before we all went our separate ways, well those of us who aren’t going bowling. I grabbed a little girl who was waiting for her mom to get off the phone to take our picture.

This was our little gang that literally took up half the restaurant. Ashlynn is missing because she hates to take pictures.

It was so much fun we will for sure do it again next year!

It was time to go bowling. Russ and Christianne couldn’t come because they were buying a new car for Russ. So the rest of us started to head for the bowling alley when we found out Chris had locked his keys in the car. So Tonya and I made a little detour to her house before bowling. Tonya is going to start working at Provo High tomorrow so I’m so excited I get to see her everyday!

We haven’t been bowling in a long time and it was so much fun taking up 3 lanes for our little group.

We bowled 2 games and I didn't totally suck. My Love and Chris dominated the game. Here are some of our favorite moments. Dalen was the only kid who tried to kill everyone by bowling into the crowed. I was certain there would have been more. Unfortunately we didn’t get a picture of it.Korean & bowling with The Gang 026Korean & bowling with The Gang 027Korean & bowling with The Gang 029Korean & bowling with The Gang 030Korean & bowling with The Gang 032Korean & bowling with The Gang 035Korean & bowling with The Gang 036Korean & bowling with The Gang 037Korean & bowling with The Gang 040Korean & bowling with The Gang 042Korean & bowling with The Gang 047Korean & bowling with The Gang 048Korean & bowling with The Gang 050Korean & bowling with The Gang 051Korean & bowling with The Gang 053Korean & bowling with The Gang 057Korean & bowling with The Gang 061Korean & bowling with The Gang 063Korean & bowling with The Gang 064Korean & bowling with The Gang 070Korean & bowling with The Gang 081Korean & bowling with The Gang 084Korean & bowling with The Gang 087Korean & bowling with The Gang 088Korean & bowling with The Gang 089Korean & bowling with The Gang 090Our favorite moment was when Esher went a little too far past the line and dropped on his little bum.

It was just too hard for us to part so we all headed to our house for some crepes and a little more time to hang out and talk. We went for 13 hours straight. You know you are true friends when 13 hours is not nearly enough time together!

New Year’s Day

The New Year started of with a sleepover with our dearest friends The Tippetts. We made our two favorite Indian Dishes- Butter Chicken and Saag Shorba with some delicious plain Naan. WE LOVE IT WHEN THEY COME OVER!!!!

Kelly made a cake that sounded absolutely delicious but for some reason didn’t turn out. We’ll have to try it again another time.

We love it when The Tippett's sleep over because we talk until 2 in the morning about everything and eat delicious food until we can’t walk anymore. Maybe that’s why we talk ‘til 2? We can’t move for hours until our bodies somewhat digest some of our food.
