Christmas and New Year's celebrations have been very fun 2011. Most of the family have gathered at in Orinda for food, games, gifts and family time. Interspersed have been some exciting BYU ball games, puzzles and movies. We attended the BYU mens basketball game at St. Mary's College in Moraga and watched the BYU Football ball game plus two more basketball games.

Kellyn again performed solo at the Oakland Temple Visitor Center day after Christmas to standing room only crowd. All enjoyed the beautiful lights and manger display.

Aimee and Kellyn set up a puzzle challenge with Kellyn ably defending her first place title from last year. Larry and Cheryl's family who were in town over the holidays joined us for combined Cousin Party and New Year's Day family dinner. All were delighted with Uncle Larry's annual family trivia game, puzzle gifts from Aunt Sue and wonderful pork roast dinner with much visiting throughout the day.

An area of focus for the new year is to hopefully have support of citizens to pass road measure on the June ballot. I've been coordinating with graphic designer to create logo and yard sign. Orinda has dubious distinction as having the worst roads in the Bay Area. There are so many potholes and rough roads that your dad refuses to take his new car on back streets, going the long way around on Glorietta Blvd and Moraga Way that have been repaired.
