Christmas Greetings

Another great Christmas has come and gone. I didn't take many pictures--too caught up in the whirl of things, I guess. But I'll share what I do have! After wrapping up finals at work, we dove into all of the Christmas preparations.We had a fun Gee Family party on the 22nd, with food and white elephant gifts.

On Christmas Eve, we had all of our kids here. We had a big "Sunday dinner" that Kory always prepares. Then we took some Christmas gifts to a family in our ward, came back and did The Nativity. After that, we all shared Christmas memories. Then, Austin shared a slideshow he had created from all of the kids baby pictures. Everyone loved it and was crying a bit. After that, all of the kids spread out in the basement and spent the night playing games, watching movies, and waiting for Santa.

On Christmas morning, we gathered in our room for family prayer.

Then we gathered on the stairs to head down and see what Santa brought.

Everyone was excited about their presents and had a good time. After some breakfast and playing around for awhile, the kids headed to their mom's house. Kory and I cleaned up a little and then headed to my mom and dad's for Christmas dinner. After eating, the guys watched basketball and the girls had fun coloring in all of the cool grown-up coloring books people got for Christmas.

We bought a hover board before we realized they could blow up. So far, still in one piece.

This week started off with a little lunch get-together with some of the Gee cousins who were available. It was designated "Gee Girl Cousins" but some of the guys decided to crash the party. It was great to catch up with everyone. I love my cousins!

Phoebe and Isaac used the time off from school to get their wisdom teeth out! Good times. They've been helping each other through the process.

Looking forward to the new year.

April 2023

April 2023 On April 1 and 2 we chilled and watched General Conference. On the first, we got a new cat to replace Todd. This cat’s name is Taco, she is a girl, and she’s a tortoiseshell calico. She and Binx have taken quite a while to warm up to each other, but I think we’ll get there. She is cuddly like Todd, so we all like that. On April 4 I watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian with my dad. On the 5 th , Kory and I took Austin and Leah to the Bee’s Knees for a birthday dinner. They have really great food there and it was fun to visit. On April 6, we had BYUI Graduation. It was fun to be there, since I’ve missed the past year due to my cancer. On the 7 th , Kory, me, and Caleb babysat for Austin and Leah. It was fun putting the kids to bed and singing with them. Stevie loves the song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” so we sang that a bunch. On April 8, Kory and I went on a little date. We drove up to Driggs and had dinner at O’ Rourkes and then stopped and visited with m...

Pie Face

Chloe had her tenth birthday and she asked for the game Pie Face. Yep, you've seen it. The one where everyone takes turns getting whipped cream in the face. Here are some precious moments. Chloe also got a little fort-making kit for her birthday, so we've had these structures in the family room for a few weeks now.

January/February 2023

January 2023 On January 3 we helped Caleb move back into his apartment on campus and took Phoebe to Fuji for her birthday dinner. On the 7 th , we went to Austin and Leah’s and had some delicious Olive Garden takeout and watched some of Matilda the Musical. On January 12, we went through the Rexburg temple with my niece Maddie. On January 14 th , I went to a baby shower for my niece Kami. She is the first grandchild to have a baby, so this will be my parents first great-grandchild. On the 27 th , we had a new addition to our household. That afternoon, Phoebe asked me if there was any way we could consider getting another cat. Her friend had to move and wouldn’t be able to take the cat to the new location. For some reason, I agreed, and she picked him up that afternoon. He’s an orange cat, and was originally named Scar, but our girls named him Todd after the Fox and the Hound . Binx was NOT happy at the new family member. He hissed and growled at Todd, who didn’t seem overly c...
