Visitors came for parts of the holiday, Christmas and New Years. Some were able to enjoy the Mink Creek spirit for nearly a whole week, others came just for a day or two.
Some of the family of Jennifer and Jeff Seamons came ‘home’ for part of the holidays. They now live in Caldwell. Both sets of grandparents live in Mink Creek, Kathy and Joe Jarvis and Cathy and Scot Seamons.
Jim and Debbie Harrison left their home in the St. George area and the warmer temperatures to have Christmas in the cold of Mink Creek and memories with friends and neighbors.
Andy and Brittany McKay and son Crew came up from Logan to enjoy family time with his parents, Paul and Terrie McKay and grandparents, Layne and Karen Erickson. Morgan and Eli Curtis from Bountiful, UT were part of the family gathering.
Several grown children graced the home of Kurt and Margret Iverson. Walter and Andrew Iverson and their wives had a break from classes in Provo at BYU. Their only daughter, Alexis Strong , her husband and family came over from their home in Colorado.
The new home of Claudine and LaMar McKague celebrated its first Christmas by having all five of the McKague children gathered together. Sam and Sierra McKague from Washington state, Ethan McKague from Lehi, UT, and the others from around the Idaho Falls area, Sage and Nathan Ricks, Jarin and Brynlee McKague and their boys, and Elsie McKague, now on break from studies at BYU/I, and home for a few months.
Drew and Hilary Erickson and their family arrived at the Bob Erickson household shortly after Christmas day, all primed for a day of skiing. This family live in Tempe, AZ, but they love to ski. This year they managed a day on the slopes at Beaver Ski resort before they returned to the warmer climates.
This afternoon/evening we had a fierce storm move in. Wild wind, snow and much trashing about. It was a whiteout for quite awhile, leaving extra winter in its wake. There seems to be a promise of more tomorrow. Anyone who wondered when real winter was coming now realizes it is here.
