Stuff we did this weekend

On Friday after work we went to Red Robin for dinner. We shared their new Marco Polo chicken sandwich. When it came time to pay our bill, we had earned a free burger. So our meal cost us $6.00 including the tip.

After that, we met our neighbors at the St. George Tabernacle to listen to T.C. Christensen speak. Here is a little info on him.

We didn't really expect to enjoy it much, but he only spoke about 45 minutes. He had four clips from a couple of his movies and then talked about some of the back ground of those clips. It was really good. After that we tried out a new burger/ice cream joint - Iceberg. It was good.

Saturday was chores and then we did a little shopping. I finally made prints of Scott & Jess's updated family picture for our entry. Also printed off one from Disneyland of Corinne's family. All our photos are out of date. We never did hang any from Christmas of last year because they were such a HUGE disappointment. So for now this is still our only family portrait display. 

Saturday night we stayed home and watched Valentine's Day on VidAngel. Sunday was church and choir. After choir, I went to Judy's house for a lesson on cookie decorating. Thank goodness they turned out pretty. It was an ugly process outlining for the icing. She used this really cool rolling pin. I might need to buy one. She had already taken off the one end of discs when I took this picture. The dics make the rolling pin roll your cookie dough at an exact measurement. I thought it was pretty amazing. 

Here are my cookies.

After cookie decorating, she started preparing for our Valentine's Dinner. Judy and Shan have us over for dinner a lot. Their son and his fiance' and their daughter and her husband are usually always there too. We are kind of family now. It's nice. Judy is a party planner. Dinner for a holiday or birthday are pretty jazzy. She bought everyone gifts and candy. 

Always a fun time, but I eat way too much. 

Oh and everyone and their brother is in St George this weekend. 

The ward following us had David Bednar, his wife and three other general authorities visiting. 

The message between he and his wife was:

Grandparents, leave your families and go on a mission. They will get along without you. Your families will be far more blessed with your service than you being at every event. 

AND

We have always lived in hard times. Be positive and faithful. 

The prophets of old saw our day and rejoiced. 

I LOVE WEEKENDS!
