Kris has gone back to work this morning, I start Winter Semester tomorrow, and Wednesday, Katy returns to Texas. So the holiday festivities are officially finished. On New Years Eve day, Ann decided she wanted to drive to SLC to the Broadway Theater to see
The King's Speech, and Katy Kathryn and I tagged along. That was the best film I have seen in ages. Everything you would expect to be well done, was, but most importantly, it was a fantastic story -- inspiring and touching. That evening many gathered for snacky food and games. After midnight, Phillip set off some of Stephen's firecrackers, which, more or less, captured the spirit of Hawaii on New Years Eve.
In keeping with recent tradition, Uncle's family and ours gathered for a Greek feast on New Years night. It was excellent. There was lots of visiting and later in the evening several rounds of Rock Band. It was a fitting way to ring down the curtain on the High Dickie Days.
Excellent!
Lots of good food
Wax lips rule

We missed the various groups of cousins who were far away, but will see some of them very soon. Wahoo!
That's all for now.

Looks like a fun day. We'll watch for the movie.
Again, I am just feeling MASSIVELY sad to have missed it all. The Greek fest especially.
We tried to go to the King's Speech but it was a schlep and a half to the nearest showing, so once it is nominated for best picture I figure it will be in the local theatre....
Now that was a bit o fun deah. I don't want to leave.
I'm anxious to see the King's Speech now. And excellent work to Philip for ringing in the New Year Hawaiian style.
