Rachel and Whitney really love their Grandpa Keeler. Whitney thought it was great fun having someone else read her a story - instead of boring old mom who always reads bedtime stories.
We went to Turnbull Wildlife Refuge while they were here. Unfortunately, in December there are no wildlife around, so we got to look at pretty wildlife habitat. Will's parents were clever and told Whitney that all the animals were sleeping. We will have to go back later when Whitney can see some animals.
So it was a really pretty little adventure. I wish there had been any animals (even a bird to see), but that was not to be. Oh well. I don't think Whitney was too disappointed. We still had a nice time looking around.
For New Years, we had a delicious cheese fondue party. I have never made fondue, so Will's mom taught me how she makes it and it was tasty. I will have to get her to write down the recipe for me.
I didn't know dipping crackers and broccoli into a cheese fondue would be so filling, but all of us were too full to do the chocolate fondue that we had planned. ( Dont worry though because the chocolate was used the next day; we didn't let it go to waste).
We did Rachel's baby blessing on Sunday. It was kind of last minute, but we wanted Will's parents to be able to attend. The blessing was really beautiful; I am grateful that Will honors the priesthood so he could give the blessing.
Here are pictures of our families after the blessing. We took Rachel out of her dress so it couldn't get dirty.
So we had a great New Years. Thanks Will's parents for coming out to see us. We had lots of fun together. I hope we can see you guys again soon.
