December 16th, the Second Annual Newton Family lunch/ice skating/Christmas lights party was held. We began the afternoon by having lunch at Texas Roadhouse where the rolls were delicious as well as the food. I believe everyone left feeling very satisfied with their food. Next it was off to the Trax station where we rode the train up to the Gallivan Center for ice skating. Everyone participated in ice skating except for Amber (6 months pregnant) and Grandpa Jeffy-poo(bum knee, back, hand etc.) Everyone had a great time including Addison and Sadie. However, mom and dad were extremely sore from holding Sadie up as we skated on the ice. She loved it though and every time we took her off of the ice to have a rest (for me not her) she would cry. Grandpa Kimbo I think had the most fun and was finally able to perfect his turns on the ice.
Next it was off to Starbucks for hot chocolate and then off to Temple Square to look at the lights. For Addison and Sadie, the fountains were more of a draw then the lights. Both girls wanted to take off their boots in order to dip their feet into the water. While stopping at one of the fountains, Kimberlee's boyfriend Kris dropped down on one knee and officially proposed to her in front of all of us. We all agreed that it took a lot of guts to do it in front of the whole family and after some of us wiping away tears (Grandpa Kimbo) we all celebrated with a group hug. In the end, the party was a huge success with everyone having a great time.
