Monday, January 5th, we were back to school and work. Thankfully I was able to work from home. Here are some happenings from the week.
Hudson is taking a karate class on Monday nights. He was a little nervous, so he asked Carter to do it w/ him. Steve also took Hudson to an open house to learn about Kindergarten! He got a free backpack!
The funeral was beautiful and well said. She was an amazing individual. She made everyone feel loved and welcome. She was like another grandma to me for the 17 years I knew her. The boys were so lucky to know their great grandma. We enjoyed taking her dinner on many Sundays and playing games w/ her, Diane, Dave, and Joann. We'll miss her greatly!
Sunday after church, we went over to Pauline's house for lunch and to play games and do our white elephant gift exchange.
After being at Pauline's, we stopped by Dave/Joann's place. They had brought Carl over. We ended up staying for dinner :) Dave made pancakes and warmed up ham. We then played a game (Apples to Apples), then went home to get ready for bed.

Quick picture w/ my parents after the funeral.
Beautiful program for LuDean (she picked it out herself before she passed).
LuDean's cake recipe that she was on KSL for.
My parents left after the funeral to try and get home while it was still light. We drove up to the Salt Lake City Cemetery, which is downtown in the Avenues, for her burial.
Steve and his cousins carrying her coffin to the gravesite. Hudson snuggling w/ Claire.
Thankfully it was sunny, though cool. It was the only sunny day all week; a miracle.
By her casket: Jeff, Carrie, Dave, Joann, Steve, Stacie and Melanie. Dave, Joann and Diane.

Isaac w/ Hudson. The boys found a worm in January!
Following the funeral home driver back to the church for the luncheon.
After the luncheon, we went home for the boys to do rock climbing. Steve and Nyles then had YM's that night.
We finally got snow! Cute Piper.
Carter is going to start playing flag football. Saturday afternoon, Steve, Nyles, Dave, and Rob went fishing in American Fork. Nyles caught the only fish.
Carter wanted to switch his bed to the twin bed, so he could have more room to play in his room.
It only took us all day, but we got it done! And Steve put in some side shelves in his closet to organize his stuff/toys. Looks great and he loves the extra room!
For some reason there were TONS of birds on our way to Pauline's house.
We made mini pizzas in their new pizza oven for lunch. Then played the candy bar game, then Left/Right/Center game, then exchanged gifts. For fun, we brought my big bear as a gift. Rose got it, but ended up leaving it :)
Pauline w/ lots of candy! The boys w/ their candy. Exchanging gifts. Rose w/ the big bear.

Silly Hudson pretending to be a dinosaur. Then getting tickled by Dave and Steve.
Great quotes. I'm so thankful for the knowledge we have of the plan of salvation and eternal families. Though it's hard not to have her with us now, I know we'll see LuDean again, along w/ our other loved ones. Until we meet again...
