Cookie Making Time





Each year the children enjoy making neighborhood treats and this year was no exception. This morning Jayd made chocolate covered prezels and this afternoon Elijah, Chancey, Jayd and Livy made sugar cookies. We plan to put the treats together and hand them out tonight for Family Home Evening.

Dale...new member of the family






Welcome Dale to the family!! He is early Christmas present that we got in November. He is a chocolate lab/german shorthair mix. He is about 3 years old and wonderful with the kids!! We knew a puppy was out of the question and Dale fits just perfectly with our family. Hope you can all meet him soon!

Olivia turned 7


Olivia turned 7 years old on December 1st. Unfortunitely our camera was broken and we just got a new one so enjoy her beautiful smile. Olivia is enjoying 1st grade and doing very well with her reading and is enjoying math. Of course her favorite subject is recess.,...she is a social butterfly and her teacher says she is nice to everyone. We love her so much and love having her as part of our family!!!

Lilah in Holiday Concert




Lilah joined the schools choir and they performed their holiday concert this week. She did a great job and really looked cute!!!! The choir practised 2 times a week for the past 2 months and she had to get up extra early those days in order to be ready for school and still join the family for scripture study. We are so proud of her efforts.

Gingerbread Houses






Lilah and Abe both made gingerbread houses at school today. They both did a great job!!!
