This afternoon we gathered to celebrate birthdays. We had 3 birthdays to celebrate, Cindy and Kaela graciously postponed their February birthdays to March since last month we had a lot of people.

Kaela is 11

Lori is 50

We had yummy cupcakes (I didn't get a picture of Cindy's cupcakes, but they were very good)  and ice cream, and there were presents.

This was a short party tonight so that some of us could go to Lori's for another party.

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY OREO

The world’s best-selling cookies are celebrating their 100th birthday. On March 6, 1912, the National Biscuit Company (also known as Nabisco) sold its first Oreo sandwich cookies to a Hoboken grocer.

Here is some Oreo Trivia:
Two versions debuted in 1912. The options were original and lemon meringue. The original was far more popular, and Nabisco discontinued lemon meringue in the 1920s.

They’re sold in more than 100 countries. In terms of sales, the top five are the U.S., China, Venezuela, Canada and Indonesia. In some countries, like China, Nabisco’s parent company, Kraft, reformulated the recipe to appeal to consumers.

450 billion. That’s how many Oreo cookies have been sold worldwide since they hit the market in 1912.
More than 7.5 billion Oreos are consumed each year. If all the Oreos ever made were lined up end to end, they would circle the Earth 381 times at the Equator. Or if you prefer to stack them, they'd reach the moon and back more than 5 times! Now that's a tower of Oreos!

FAMILY DINNER IN SALT LAKE CITY 2/28/12

Tuesday we decided to stay in town, because of heavy snow predicted in the mountain passes. We spent the morning at the Family History Library, and the afternoon resting or shopping. Later in the afternoon, Lori went and picked up Danny and we went to Golden Corral to have dinner with the family. This was Sara & Crystal's 1st time to meet most of the family members in attendance  There was lots of talking and visiting, as well as eating.
