Then we were off to the Carr's for salad, Hathaway's for main course, and finally dessert at the Manwaring's. It was Ashley and Beau's birthday so Patricia made a delicious birthday cake.
Whitney with Wendy Manwaring and Megan Hathaway.
On Friday morning we headed up to Cascade
for a day of snow shoeing and cross country skiing.
It was a beautiful but very COLD day. Temperatures were below 0. It was -9 when we got out of the car.
It didn't take long to heat up once we got going.
We took a break and had a delicious picnic,
but by the end of the picnic we were freezing and ready to get going again.
We got back to Boise in time to get ready and go out to dinner for New Year's Eve. It was Tom's turn to pick the restaurant and he chose Chinese food so we headed to the Great Wall.
It wasn't exactly fine dining (tater tots at a Chinese restaurant?), but we had a good time.
We spent New Year's day taking down Christmas decorations but we had a great New Year's party that night. We invited Charlie and Lucille, John and Cindy, and Aaron, Carina, Adam and Logan.
We ate fajitas and played Trivial Pursuit, Pop Culture version. The younger generation challenged the older generation and of course the older generation won (we actually won on a tie-breaker). Uncle John even wore his Russian fur hat just for Whitney. 
2010 was an eventful year, now on to 2011. Happy New Year!!

Man, those pictures make me cry. I miss my family. What a great New Years you had!
I'm so glad we were able to hear Whitney speak and we had so much fun on New Years. Thank you for inviting us and making those yummy fajitas :).
LOVE John's Russian hat! What a fun New Year's party! Wish we were there with you! Whitney must have felt right at home with the cold on your cross country ski adventure. Looks like you had fun. And what a neat tradition to have a progressive dinner in the neighborhood!
What a great week!! You guys did so many fun things, I wish we could have been there.
