Tucker and Dane took some of the kids sledding. Poor Tucker runs an interesting track record with breaking something of Dane's and this time popped their tube!
We actually got a babysitter for all six kids (we took the baby) and went to a movie! We were a little scared because when Beth picked her up, she looked about as old as our kids! She was young, but also just little....and she did just fine. We saw "Yes Man".
This is what the kids did 95% of the time. High School Musical 3 Karaoke.
Peyton loved baby "Playton" (Clayton). It was so sweet to spend time with a cuddly newborn!
We had a yummy spread of treats on New Year's Eve. The best was Dane's ice sculpture centerpiece! It was so totally Dane to come walking in the house with something so unique! A HUGE icicle from outside!
The kids were running on no sleep, so we cheated. We showed them the ball drop on YouTube from 2008 and said goodnight around 9:30!!
Lexi welcomes 2009!
Jordyn welcomes 2009!
We also fit in a little project while we were there.
Beth's sunroom had old wallpaper on it, so we scraped it off, the guys helped us prime and tape it and we painted it a final color called "Cookie Dough".
The finished product is beautiful!!
Thanks for a great visit, Thurstons! We love you and your little rural Manti home!

Super fun!!! That is too funny about Tucker breaking things, seriously comical. And the dining room looks beautiful! What a fun "pit stop"!!!
What good friends you are to help strip wallpaper! Wow! It looks great!
It was a dream for us and the kids. Every minute actually felt so fun! You didn't mention one of the best parts. Taking baby Clayton for me for a night. The first night in so long my 2 feet didn't hit the floor! Thank you for coming!! I like our tradition.
sorry my name is amysarah and beth now. I started a new blog with us and I'm confused why it has to come up like that now. I'll fix it!
I love your idea with showing the kids the You Tube video and sending them off to bed. I should have thought of that. Also, I love the ice sculpture.
How great that you got to spend time with Beth and her family. Sounds like you had a fun time. I bet your kids were happy to spend time with their pals.
Sounds like you all had such a fun time!! That's so neat you were able to keep your New Year's Tradition. And that's so neat your kids got to play with each other. Such fun!
