Happy New year every one!
This year we celebrated New years Eve at home like we do every year. Our friends Stacey and Victor, and Bryan's Dad Neil, Jeff, and Jason came over and we chatted and played Family feud.
The kids went to bed early but they had fun during the day creating a ginger bread house.
On New Years day, we went shopping for some snow gear to go to the snow the following Saturday and then we went to the dollar theatre to watch "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" for the second time. We really like the movie :)
That Saturday we went to the snow up in Shirley Meadows. We had a blast despite the fact that I don't own any snow boots and my shoes didn't have any traction so I slipped like 12 times. The same thing happened to Bryce. We couldn't find any snow boots for Bryce after searching 9 stores the day before. It was Crazy.
We are thankful for another year of life and are thrilled to see what this year has in store for us.
So far we have received some great news. My Sister in Law Cherie is finally pregnant after trying to have a baby for a few years. We are so happy for her and John and are so thrilled to have another baby in the family. Bryan is staying positive in his job and working as hard as he can since they raised the quota for sales. All we know is that the lord is mindful of our needs and he will provide what we need as long a we do our part and pay our tithing. I continue to wait to get in to the Nursing program at BC and taking some classes on the side to stay focused. Asha continues to work hard at school and growing in mind and spirit every day. Bryce has taken a big leap in his learning. He now knows how to count to 100 by ones, fives, and tens. He is reading! I can't believe how much he has grown and how independent he is becoming. We will continue to press forward with faith and stay positive through out 2009.
Happy new year everyone and may we all accomplish the goals we have set this year.

Sounds like you had fun! I think the snow was more fun when I didn't have to live in it and drive in it every day :)
Happy New Year Orton Family! Looks and sounds like you guys had a blast playing in the snow. I am jealous that you got to eat tamales. The basic turkey and ham gets redundant year after year.
May the New Year bring your family much happiness and many blessings!
