Brett quote of the day

Brett was telling me that some of the kids at church have smiley faces in their scriptures, like :) He said, "They must have a new translation."

Christmas Events

It has been a busy month. Our Christmas activities started with Ty and Paige's Christmas concert. It is always fun to see just how much 6th graders have learned in 4 short months. Bryce marched in 2 Christmas parades and was very relieved to be finished with marching band until next fall. We enjoyed Christmas parties at school, at church and with friends.

We enjoyed a quiet Christmas at home, as usual, except....we had visitors! My mom was here for 10 days and it was so much fun to have her. The kids thought it was a great excuse to treat the holidays like a real vacation and thought we should eat out alot and do something fun continually. I think they were disappointed on that point! But, we did enjoy Grandma and were glad to have Chad, Leia and Kalani for dinner the day after Christmas.

Everyone was happy and surprised with their Christmas gifts, especially Bryce who got a cell phone! As usual, we got plenty of new games and spent lots of time playing them.

After Grandma left we spent a day with Brett's friends exploring a fun Star Wars exhibit. We spent New Years eve doing our usual...fireworks in the drive way and lots of games.
