Christmas Season 2022

-

It's Christmas time and with that brings lots of fun traditions and events.  This year didn't disappoint.  We had fun decorating chocolate gingerbread houses from a kit.  However, I think we enjoyed eating the houses more than decorating them.  :)  John made another graham cracker house in preschool that was super cute.  Too bad it didn't last more than 10 minutes at home before John gobbled up all the tasty treats on it.  

We attended a fun school band concert with Loyd and Xavier.  Loyd was in the high school band and Xavier was in the 7th grade beginning band.  The hit song of the evening was a piece dedicated to Krampus and included the horrified screaming of children who wake up to no presents on Christmas.  

Maeve took part in the annual 4th Grade Community Carol.  She drove around town with her class singing Christmas carols to the community.  

Grandma and Grandpa Cornelius and Uncles Jason and Jared came over for a yummy Christmas Eve dinner.  Dustin made the best smoked ham ever for the occasion.  

Christmas day was lovey day filled with gifts for good children (all of our children were very good this year, of course) and a lovely Sacrament Meeting since Christmas was on Sunday this year.  

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!

Christmas Morning




Look what Rebekah stitched and Santa got framed!!!!  Rebekah created this original cross stitch masterpiece all on her own.  She designed it and created her own pattern.  Would you believe it is her first big cross stitch project?!  She has such a talent with arts and crafts.  I'm very proud of her.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
