From Austin to Park City!

Some of our family from Austin came to visit this week. Rob's mom, sister, and her sweet little ones came to town for a little snow and PC hospitality. We had such a good time, and as always, it went by too quickly. We kicked off their stay with our traditional Sushi night at the Zwahlens. This special night is always fun and always filling - in more ways than one. I rolled sushi with Caleb, Hudson and Abby, while Rob did the cutting and presentation (you can see by the pictures that he is really good at presentation. He ran out of time and left out the dragon roll this time). The favorite among the Zwahlen kids is crab, avocado, mango and cream cheese. My favorite is a spicy salmon roll with all the veggies and the secret, yummy ingredient - lemon! Sawyer passed on the sushi and stuck with some green peas and mandarin oranges. He did enjoy using chopsticks - as drumsticks, as he has yet to master the spoon and fork and would rather pound out a tune with those as well. We love Sushi and we love the Zwahlens. We even convinced Rob's mom to try some sushi - she didn't hate it.
Rob was pretty busy while his family was here, so we enjoyed some nice "girl time." Poor Blaine; he was the only boy, but I think he enjoyed all the attention from the girls. Mallory got to frolick in the snow, and thanks to a few bluebird days and the beautiful sunshine, we were able to enjoy a few strolls around the block. We love it when family comes to visit; we only wish it could be more often - hint hint to all the family reading this right now!

Nice presentation!

Check out all that sushi. Can you imagine the bill if we ordered all that at a sushi bar!
The little drummer boy.
And we thought he would end up playing guitar like his daddy.
Grammy with all of her babies. This is the only picture where they were all looking forward - well, sort of.

Mallory and Sawyer - he is truly amazed at how someone with teeth eats a goldfish.
