Following a very relaxing and quiet Christmas morning (probably because I completely lost my voice), we went to St. George to meet up with all of my family. I love my family and I love St. George. It was a little cold the first couple days and then it really turned beautiful.I volunteered (don't ask my why) to create an Amazing Race game for the family to compete in. Last year we did a photo race through St. George and we had a lot of fun. So thanks to the Internet and the actual show, I came up with 6 destinations in Washington County and tasks that had to be completed at each site. I divided the family into 3 teams and they competed in activities such as gulping down In-N-Out, performing at Tuachan, sketching famous artwork of Zions, racing to the marathon finish line. I wish I could have seen what actually happening at each place. But, I have pictures of the teams as they made it to the last pit stop.
On the 26th, we had a birthday party for my mom - HOLLYwood style. We had a red carpet, paparazzi, and a FroYo bar. Kenyon used photoshop to do some cool shots of my mom as a movie star. It was so fun and my mom was a good sport. She HATES any fuss over her birthday. However, my grandma always made sure that we made a special day for her.
We also fit in some tennis. I stink and really need some lessons. Kenyon, of course, did great even though he feels so lousy. Completely unfair. The kids also got to play a little. They love to play tennis with Grandma and Egan.
We only wish we were there for their New Year's Eve party. We have no party plans here.

Your family is so lucky to have you to create things for them. We should have come down to watch them for you. We were in Cedar.
Wow, Annie. You are amazing. Sounds like so much fun!
I love the Hollywood idea. I bet she was bedazzled by all your creativity. How fun. Happy Birthday to the best aunt!
Happy New Year!!!
Much love......
Annie is Amazing. The race was a blast. The party was awesome, and the photoshop posters were a thrill for me--standing next to Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. But I got beat at tennis by someone who has been miserable for a year. So, Kenyon is amazing too.
Holy cow, that sounds like fun. . . both the race and the party! I love it!
Amazing Race was so fun. I am always amazed at what you come up with. Thanks for the awesome activity.
