The New Potters: New Year's in Levan

We spent New Year's in Levan.

We helped take down all the Christmas decorations.

And undecorated the Christmas tree and put away the bows...well most of them... ;)

Malea's best friend Angee brought her cute baby Taylor down to visit and have dinner one evening. Taylor was trying out the Hot Air Balloon mobile Malea made.

Friends forever!

Then Meghan, her mom, and the girls stopped over on their way back through to Cali.

Noa and Rorie had to check out all of the cool toys!

They could have spent hours playing Loopin' Louy with Aunt Mia.

Daddy K cooked eggs on the stove for us one morning.

Rorie and Noa were playing, then Malea walked in just in time for this!

Then we took a drive down to Yuba to check out the ice. We saw this big awesome hawk on the way down.

The water is very low. Nothing even remotely close to the spillway.

It's Cold!

Malea was the only one brave enough to cross the creaking ice and go through the spillway tunnel to see the other side. Panoramic view from "the other side..."

We didn't have Andrea to make a good video for us...

But Daddy K and Colton did their best.

"Help, he has fallen and can't get up..." Actually he was taking some cool pictures.

Colton got some great shots of the ice crystals that formed on the ice.

The ice was very clear and you could see the rocks on the bottom.

This is what an air pocket looks like.

We also discovered something really awesome while trying to break the ice.

The frozen lake.

That night, we went to see Night at the Museum 3. It was very fun and pretty cute!

While there, we made sure to make good use of the new 4-wheeler! :)

Someone left Mom a little Christmas gift that we didn't find on the front porch until it was frozen solid!

We attended the funeral for Sam Thompson, a good friend of Malea's from high school, who passed away unexpectedly. It was an emotional day, but we followed it up with a trip to the temple.
