New Years Day

We spent New Years Eve at Jan and Rundassa's. We slept over and spent New Years Day skating and visiting with family. It was a great day for skating.

Christmas Day!

I surprised Jed with knitted slippers. He loved them. I loved my sweater too even though it wasn't a surpirse and Jed didn't knit it. Lucy got Littlest Petshops, Tyson got Starwars Legos, Louis got a dog so he'll have one when he and Lucy play dogs, and Paige got two new mini American Girl dolls. We had a nice dinner later with Pamela and Kevin's family. We ate hot dogs and salad with Pumpkin Pie in a Dripper for dessert! Good times.

December Birthdays

On my actual birthday Pamela brought over cupcakes and we played games while the kids played down stairs. Way too much cake in one month!

We had a Tooele Olsen Family party on the 20th of December. It was fun!

The day before my birthday Jed bought an ice cream cake at Cold Stone. We had cake and dinner and then went sledding. It was so fun. Good exercise too!

A Real Gingerbread House

No cracker houses for us this year. Paige was determined we needed to make a gingerbread house like last time. Last time was 6 years ago and what a project it was. I was smarter this year in that I knew I wanted to make a smaller house. Not so smart in the design. I made the roof too small. This house only lasted an hour before it fell apart. Sure was yummy to eat!

November yard work

Lucy and Louis had so much fun raking our leaves they wanted to rake the neighbors too. I thought they probably wouldn't mind so we started. Then they came home and asked "Are you doing our yard work?" I explained that it was the kids idea. Louis demonstrated by raking a pile and saying "Look Mom!" Louis took off before I got the camera. We all had fun.

First December Snow!

The snow wasn't deep but it was enough to play in! Paige made the snowman.

Jed was in charge of Christmas music. Decorating for Christmas!
