The visit from the Arkansans: the Johnstons!

 We have been counting down for the past two months!  Steve called us before Christmas to let us know he had found a crazy-great deal on tickets from Little Rock to Utah so they were coming in February. 

They arrived on Tuesday. Wednesday we got a call that they were in Orem swimming at the rec center and wanted to go out to lunch with us.  Alyssa, Dave and I joined them at Costa Vida for lunch.  Steve came to our home for a visit afterwards.  He kills me. He is too funny.

Dave and Steve enjoyed a day skiing on Thursday.  We all looked forward to Saturday.

On Saturday, Meredith and I went to SLC to see Dream Girls at Capitol Theater.  We parked down low and then walked to City Creek so she could buy Nate a Valentine's Day gift.  We ate lunch at the Blue Lemon (yum, yum) and then ran to Dream Girls.  It was INCREDIBLE!  We loved the show and all!

 

We rushed home after the show and headed to the River Bottoms for dinner at our favorite restaurant:  La Jolla Groves.  The Nieportes joined us along with Amy, Reuben and a few others I don't know.

 

 The kids had a blast with Riley!  No fighting: just love. 

We love our friends:  all of them.
