Happy 2008

We went to some top secret hot pots near Park City just before New Years and had so much fun. They were hotter than the last time I went and we found ourselves getting in and out over and over.

There was a family that showed up and were trying to get their little kids in the hot pots and the kids were screaming about how hot it was and crying and the dad was telling the kids to stop crying. It was crazy...I wanted to tell them that I could barely handle it and a 4 year old may have a hard time with it. It was hotter than a hot tub, no question.

My friend Kayla came with us and so did my brother David. It was great. David wore his speedo from his mission in Brazil (again) and we were glad it was dark outside. But, he does look naked in some of our photos. Yikes!



This is a Heather tradition every New Years. We take a photo chugging Sparkling Cider...I think I've done this since I was 12 and it still makes me laugh. We basically mock people getting drunk and think we are so funny. Some things seem to stick. :)


My New Years kiss (one of them) from Doug. He is my favorite person to spend New Years with.

David had the idea to run outside and roll around in the snow just after midnight with no shoes or jackets. Here Doug is doing a summersault (wow--that is the first time I have ever typed that word). My mom was great--she was covered in snow! David had even taken his shirt off. I ran out and then back in really fast!

In fact, my grandpa locked us out of the house and I was banging on the door so angrily. Pretty funny looking back on it. My feet were starting to stick to the front steps. Crazy Beckstrand family moment.

After the rolling around, we had to take a photo. It was so great.
