My sister, Patricia, held a house-warming at her and Kelly's new residence in SLC. Gayle and I could not attend, but Alicia and Jared made it down. Here is Alicia holding one of the triplets.
Olivia and Brandon had a good time.
Robert and Tracine got in on the triplet tending action as well.
Jessica and Tanner made it over to share their smiling faces.
Kelly's mom, Kathy Rose, and her friend.
Kristen and Courtney.
Mark and his wife mugging with Kelly for the camera.
Rob and Carly helped finish some dessert off.
Julie and Jared, cousins and friends.
Jared enjoying practicing his parenting skills.
We had a dinner get together for my birthday this month. Here are Adrian, Arleen, and Brittney.
The "haystacks" were great!
McKel and Avril always are happy to have a family gathering.
The two bearded guys sat side-by-side.
Avril assisted in the candle blowing work.
Also this month, my dear dad started residing at The Legacy House, just down from Logan Regional Hospital. Gayle decorated his room and I did the labor (moving furniture, etc.).
Patricia brought up the triplets during the month to visit their grandpa at The Legacy House.
I thought I'd throw in some random shots of the girls being girls at home. Here's McKel grinning in the TV room.
Avril loves books. Here she's sitting on the banana chair and thumbing through one of her collection.
McKel looks like she'll be going down the same literary path as Avril. Her attention span is a lot shorter, though.
Both girls, warm inside while it's winter outside.
The other big news this month is that Avril had surgery. Out came the tonsils and adenoid tissue. In went ear tubes (not in the foregoing order).
Papa looks like he's falling asleep post Avril's surgery in the recovery area,while Avril seems pretty alert after coming out of anesthesia. We got to watch the whole thing on closed-circuit TV and have it recorded on disk for future enjoyment and posterity. (January 25th)
