Family Traditions

My family is HUGE on traditions. It seems like for every single holiday we have some tradition. Right after New Years, my awesome uncle takes the whole family out for a NICE dinner. This year it was at the famous Plaza III steakhouse in KC. It was a wonderful night with a surprise trip from my older brother Ryan! My uncle flew him out to surprise my mom!


It was a wonderful night....untill my dad had a heart attack. It was SO scary. We spent most of the night at the hospital. I have never been so grateful for my older brother and my wonderful husband - both worthy holders of the priesthood. My dad is okay, but the experience was scary!

Here are some pictures of the night. Pre-heart attack. :)
