caleb, student of the term

caleb was student of the term for his grades. So proud of you Caleb, you are the BEST!! He has had a great first year of junior high. Straight A's! It was fun to have him recognized for all his hard work. Reed and I went to the awards ceremony/breakfast. We had a good laugh over all the awkward 13-15 year olds. So glad I will never have to redo those years. (Caleb is the cute one in red)

maia

maia turned eight this month! She had a hot chocolate party. It was a ton of fun

maia was baptised on the 23rd. It was special and  wonderful. She was so happy and enthusiastic.  After the baptism she  hoped around smiling and said "I feel so....fresh!"

december

kylie's first dance recital. at first she didnt want anything to do with getting on stage. after the dress rehearsal she told me she was ready to get her dress on and dance. She was so cute! She was so worried about making sure she was on her   stage sticker.

kylie especially liked doing "hair and makeups."

we had our first snow day, the kids played and played in the snow. maia and carson made this snowman, I love his spiky hair
