Make New Friends, But Keep the Old

Ben has arrived home from BYU for the Christmas holiday break. He brought his roommate, Benjamin, here to stay for a couple of days until he hooks up with his family when they come to town.

Ben's friends, Ethan and Collin, came over tonight. It's always so fun for him and for us to see his old friends. We enjoyed having dinner together before the guys left to go to a movie. Let the holiday fun begin!!!

Here's a photo taken when David and Collin came over at Thanksgiving.

We enjoy seeing the grown-up version of these guys we knew when they were little boys. Now they've grown up into fine men--who still like to do what they always used to do when they were younger: hole up in the basement playing pool, watching movies, playing video games, talking and laughing together.

We're glad Ben had such great friends growing up and we're happy he's got such great friends at college.

Good friends are the best!
