Grandma and Grandpa Romney

Your mother and I had a wonderful December.

How I love the Christmas Season - Pine Fragrance -

Pop Corn Factory Pop Corn, Christmas Music,

buying a IPod Touch for Grandma. But most

of all - communicating with the family about the

true meaning of Christmas, the Atonement of

our Savior, and asking myself - What did I give

for Christmas? How many times did I share the

Gospel with a non member? Did I share my

testimony of the Savior often?

We really enjoyed the visits from Tiffany, Dave and

Benjamin. It was a real treat to have Reed, Summer,

Dalin and Avery Cakes with us for a few days also.

As we start the new Decade of 2010 and the year 2010

I offer the following quote from Elder Robert D. Hales:

"The plan of the Father is that family love and companionship

will continue into the eternities. Being in a family carries

a great responsibility of caring, loving, lifting, and

strengthening each member of the family so that all can

righteously endure to the end in mortality and dwell together

throughout eternity. It is not enough just to save ourselves.

It is equally important that parents, brothers, and sisters are

saved in our families. It we return home alone to our Heavenly

Father, we will be asked, 'Where is the rest of the Family?'"

Please discuss this quote with your children and share your

testimony of the truthfullness of the Gospel.

I know that God lives, that Jesus Christ is our savior, I know that

the Church of Jesus Christ is the only true and living church on

the earth today. I know that the scriptures and the words of the

living prophets can guide us in the correct paths we should walk

in this life.

I love you all and wish all the best to each of you in 2010.

It is my desire to dwell with you all for eternity in the Celetial

Kingdom and I am doing all I can do to help.

I look forward to your family reunion in June 2010.

Happy New Year!

Dad - Gramps!

We had a great Christmas! It was so nice to have our first Christmas home with the kids since being married. On Christmas Eve we made pizzas in the shape of Christmas trees, which was so fun (and yummy!) we just might make it a yearly tradition! Dallin and Avery got lots of stuff from Santa! We had a yummy breakfast with a Wiest tradition of homemade ablaskevers (a Danish pancake-like pastry), cinnamon rolls, bacon and orange juice. All very special foods that we don't eat very often so it was a real treat! The day after Christmas we spent a few days at grandma and grandpa Romney's house. Dallin and Benjamin had a blast! There were a few disputations and tears here and there, but for the most part they had fun...with Avery tagging along behind them! And Avery didn't even fall down the stairs once!

Dallin and Avery spend their days riding the Cars bike Dallin got from Santa and the Wiggle Racer they BOTH got from Santa (which Dallin has to be reminded of daily!)

Potty Training....taking his time to read on the Toilet

The Snowy PA

Hello everyone. So we had a great Christmas Holiday in LAS VEGAS!!! Thank you so much to G&G Romney for letting us come and stay with them. Benjamin loved playing with all their cool toys. He is still talking about the tramp and playing hockey and football in the back yard. Dave has had a few weeks off in between semester and it has been nice to just relax and not have to worry about school. I have something FUN to share......I am going to go back to school this Summer/Fall. UNLV has an entire degree online.....so all of my classes before are still good and will go towards my degree. So I am soooo excited to finally start the journey of finishing my degree. As some of you know we have started the lovely task of POTTY TRAINING! Benjamin is doing good but it will just take time. But we will keep you posted. Have a great month.

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. We had fun with Dave's parents. They came to spend the weekend with us. This year was my FIRST Thanksgiving as a host...and cook/chef of everything for the dinner! If I can say so myself it turned out beautiful....also thanks to mom for answering all of my Thanksgiving cooking questions. So nothing really new here in State College. Dave has finals coming up so he is really busy studying and Benjamin and I just get to hang out with each other ALL the time!!! So I have started a weekly playgroup with the gals in the ward. We all take turns hosting a week....so thats nice to have something to look forward to. I am thinking about taking a Beginners Photography class at Penn State in January....so we shall see and I will keep you posted. Well if you are wondering what kind of baby we are going to have....we go to the DOC this friday!!! I'm excited....we have a boy named picked but no girls names. So We are excited for Christmas to go to Vegas....it will be nice to be in a bigger city for a few days. Talk to you all later.
