Sunday was quite an eventful day in West Jordan. We awoke to more than a foot of snow and it continued throughout the morning. It was so heavy that church was dismissed following Sacrament Meeting and all able-bodied members were invited to don their snow gear and spend the day helping their neighbors shovel. Our Ward consists of a great deal of elderly people, so more than 20 families and individuals were shoveled out in the trailer court. Clive came home exhausted!
In the meantime, Mars shoveled our walks, then proceded to build a "giant" snowman. He took the girls out to add a carrot nose, some button eyes, an ill-fitting hat, and a scarf.
In the evening the family (all 15 of us) gathered at Jonathan's for a pre-wedding dinner. The kids had fun exploring, while Jayden finished the 15th chapter of his latest book.
The guys gathered to watch the Superbowl ... Clive rooting for the Patriots, while the others cheered the Giants on to victory.
Mars joined Melanie, Sheryl, and me in cropping photos, drilling holes, cleaning glass, and finishing up the photo cube centerpieces for the wedding.
Jonathan and Marisa hosted our yummy meal.
Kevin looks asleep, but was really into the game. He gave up a Superbowl party to join the family for the evening.

I love that the people in your neighborhood helped shovel the sidewalks of their neighbors! That is so awesome. Its so nice to know that there are still decent people out there in the world. Something like that would almost CERTAINLY not happen back home.
Our Church was totally canceled! We probably got about a foot or so up here in Herriman too! So much Snow!
Fantastic picture of me (ugh) I wish I could edit your blog like I do MINE! :) It really was a nice night though, always fun to be together!
That was really fun to get together. The snowman was awfully fun too though. My girls were very sad that he "melted".
