I was craving Christmas-y cookies that I didn't have time to make at Christmas time, and the kids were kind enough to help on a Sunday afternoon. |
We tried out a fun new game we got for Christmas called Rack-O. |
Cat helped us finish up the tube of charcoal face mask goo. |
When I walked downstairs to go to Choir rehearsal... Liza: (With a touch of pre-teen snarkiness) Nice pantsuit. Me: It's not a pantsuit. It's pants and a sweater. Liza: Half a pantsuit. Me: That's pants. |
Jack finally started getting scheduled regularly in mid-January! |
Why rake leaves when you can stage a battle? |
They helped too though :-) |
Battleship Showdown |
More Rack-O |
When I requested Luke read some Winnie-the-Pooh out loud that afternoon, he obliged. |
Cat had a random day off of school during Winterim, so she and I tried out a new Mexican place for lunch. |
I love our nerd school! |
I got a kick out of seeing the Dean help Jack with his tie when he arrived at Winterfest. Jack didn't think he needed help... |
I'm trying to get these guys to the temple 12 times this year. Our first temple trip was to Draper and it was a great experience. |
Cool balloons at the mall in Orem! |
Gong xi fa cai |
I love catching the kids reading, especially when they're reading the scriptures. This year, Jack is making more of an effort to read the Book of Mormon daily. |
My new favorite picture of Eliza. She got the spacer out from her top teeth, but she had to get a mold taken so that the ortho could give her a new device to maintain the space that had been created. |
Chicken tracks through the snow! |
Visiting Cat on her last day working at our favorite Thai place! |
We already miss her bringing leftovers home after every shift. I guess we can just go eat there and that would be good too, but not as free. |
Liza's first club volleyball tournament! |
We were in and out all day but for a short time, we were all there together cheering her on. |
Is it possible to have too much fun at dinner? Perhaps... |
We are trying to do more service as a family year-round. In January, we assembled some winter kits to be sent to Ukraine, and enlisted Raeya and Blake to help after a Feed the Freshmen Sunday dinner. |
