Happy New Year, 2013!

And so, at the Harris House we rounded out the end of 2012 with lots more activity and fun!






Grayson played in the Franklin Stake's "Mormon Invitational Tournament" (MIT) where they invite teams from other faiths to compete in a series of basketball games over a 2-day period. Several of his friends from school played on competitor teams. We were all there to CHEER HIM ON!

In addition to "WOW-ing" us each night by reading the Book of Mormon like a little scholar, Colton shared some of his newly acquired "Suzuki" piano skills with us!







Addie liked to "dance" on the stovetop -- is that anything like "dancing on the table?"
New Year's Eve day, Steve and Chris took out the old ceiling fan in our living room, and installed a new one. It was quite a process! We were very grateful for Chris' young feet & back on that very TALL ladder!


Then Steve, Nathalie, my friend Becky Pinney and I went to the new release, "Les Miserables" starring Hugh Jackman & Russell Crowe. It was GREAT!  Then Becky came over, and we all had finger foods & treats -- put the kids to bed, and sat around playing games (Last Word and MadGab) to RING IN THE NEW YEAR.


Colton read the book "If You Take a Mouse to School" to Becky. She was amazed at his good reading!







On January 2nd, I had to go back to work, and Chris' family went back to Nebraska (sniff!) so we all left the house early that morning.

BACK TO REALITY...lots of great memories made -- can't wait to get everyone together again soon!
