Following dinner, Kate and our niece, Cammie, watched Alice In Wonderland, while the adults gamed. We played Buzz Word, which happens to be made for the mind of Dave; he just makes the rest of us look like idiots. Of course, Team Blackhurst won. Team Robinson would have won had they been competing against me alone, but against Dave, they stood no chance.
The next morning, Dave and I sharpened up on our skiing skills. We met up with Dave's co-workers at Sundance for a second year in a row. You know, I always "think" I don't really like skiing, but once I make myself do it, I truly enjoy myself. I always start off really crappy, and then as the day progresses, I start to figure the whole thing out. And once I stopped falling down, I was able to take in the breathtaking, mountainous views. If you're like me and despise living in coldness, skiing is a good way to help you gain a little appreciation for Utah's winter wonderland.
The best part about skiing at Sundance is that you can ride to the very top of the lift and ski the Back Mountain (which offers Blue slopes the whole way down). There are some very cool quaint trails that take you past some cabins and things. And it's actually kind of romantical skiing alongside your honey.
At lunch, we all met up and ate together. Dave and I both got the Frito Pie (which, in greater detail, is a layer of Fritos + a layer of chili + a layer of cheese, all equaling the perfect comfort food for skiing).
Later that night, we should have soaked in a warm, bubble bath and slept to help our muscles recover; instead, Discovery Gateway (the children's museum) beckoned us. We'd been to the Museum of Play in New York and it was incredible, so we figured this must be cool too. Ehhh. Not so much. I think Utah might have slightly more children than New York so everything seemed extremely used and handled, plus it wasn't exactly cheap to get in.
Kate with the building blocks
The grocery store part was definitely fun, and they had some microscopes that were pretty cool. Kate had a good time, especially being there with Hayden and Parker...but I don't think we'll go back.
We finished of the evening at Jason's Deli. I happen to love Orem's Jason's Deli, but the Gateway's is...well, poo. It's not very clean, or friendly, or fast, or good. I think as long as I'm not going back to the children's museum, I'll also not go to back to that Jason's Deli.
Sunday morning the pain set in. Muscles we didn't even realize we had were screaming out in agony! But church, like every other week, was good. We really love our ward, and have a bishop that goes above and beyond to make our ward strong and united. Every week, Dave and I both comment about how much we enjoy going to church, which is pretty good thing, I think.
She got some cleaning, flossing, and polishing done, and Dave also did some nice filing work to Kate's two front teeth (the edges were a little jagged to begin with). They look beautiful now!
So...upon first arrival, I was a little nervous. The inside is very "chic" for lack of better words. It's pretty modern and loungy inside. They have a bar that serves only non-alcoholic beverages, and a loft area for casual dining and drinking. We'd seen plenty of this sort of thing in Los Angeles, but it felt a little awkward for Utah County. 
Then came the awkward seating (have you ever eaten so close to other diners that you have to consciously try to not listen to their conversations?) Such was the case for us. So you can see why I was a little nervous, but mostly just worried that the food would be lacking.
Kate helped her dad shovel snow.
She also made snow angels (something I didn't realize she knew how to do).
And then we went sledding. 
The third graders do this every year, and have always gotten to relaunch the balloons several times. But because of the extremely cold temperatures outside, it made for excellent flying conditions and we never saw our balloons again. Once launched, they drifted far, far away, and looked like they landed somewhere around I-15 near Thanksgiving Point...you can see in the pic below a tiny little spec of color in the sky as it creeps up happily towards the freeway...
I haven't yet heard of any car accidents over there, so that's a good thing.
A magnificent view of the EVE festivities at Gallivan Plaza
Trax tickets 
And EVE wristbands 
that got us into a variety of activities like:
Arts & Crafts at Discovery Gateway
And not pictured...a performance of the Nutcracker. Now when I say The Nutcracker, it was more of a "Hey, do you dance? Are you also not busy New Year's Eve? Great. Why don't you come star in our show?" It was not exactly your typical Nutcracker, but good enough, I suppose. 
They provided party favors for each of the diners that included hats, noisemakers, and horns. You'll notice in the pic above that Kate insisted on wearing Dave's hat, leaving Dave to wear a feathery, feminine hat. I'm sure he'd like me to mention that he didn't wear that hat by choice, and only put it on for the pic.
After dinner we dashed off for some swimming at the helltell (that's what Kate calls it). 
Later at the midnight chime, Dave and I watched two amazing minutes of fireworks right outside our window, and sampled some strawberries and bubbly (aka cider) while Kate slept.
