Carson's Gingerbread house.  He kept wanting to pile more and more on top.

Some little mice that Lexi made with hot glue to hold candy canes.  Lexi is all about projects. 

Reporting to Harmony.  A puzzle about Europe.

'Lunch Out' with Lexi.  She chose Subway.  I took each kid out individually for a lunch date.

Brit and the deacons went bowling.

Landon really misses being with the youth as a bishopric member.  He was release this week with the new bishopric called.  The young women came over unexpectedly and gave him this fun candy poster.

Some of our favorite science books.

Lexi is a daddy's girl! 

Just a fun face.

We love these fairy tale books.

More gingerbread houses!

 

Ty's gingerbread house - complete with christmas light licorice strands!

Brit's gingerbread house: 

STEM school activity...see how high you can build a structure with gumdrops and toothpicks.

Reporting to Harmony made me remember that Cam made his own three books about Lego Minecraft.

Cam was invited to a neighbor's swim birthday party.

My twice-a-week weight lifting view in the garage ;-)

This week, I took Cam out to lunch.  I had taken Ty and Brit individually last week.  Cam choose to go to Noodles.  He read to me while he was there.

 

We went to the BYU bookstore so we could get him his own scriptures engraved with his name.  While we were there, we saw the cool lego creations.  He bought a sticker book.

 

 

 

It's almost the end of 2nd quarter for Harmony reporting.  Some of our favorite things are science from MysteryDoug.com and these fun books:

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

The primary president and Santa came through the neighborhood with candy canes and an ornament for all the kids.  

 

 

 

We had our first big snowfall! About 6"

 

  

 

 

 

Carson slipping and falling... I was trying to take a picture of him in his cute winter gear, but he slipped mid pic.

 

 

 

I had to laugh about this. DuoLingo, where I'm learning Spanish, reported that I spent 1584 minutes in the last year on the app.  That's actually only about 30 minutes a week.  But that's still the top 4%!! Oh man!

 

 

 

 

Ty did great on his first in-person piano recital with Anna White!

Cam’s baptism

 Cam was baptized!  Landon baptized and confirmed Cam on December 4, 2021.  We are in Leland 1st Ward in Spanish Fork, Utah.  They have stake baptisms here.  Eight people were baptized from the stake that day. We were lucky to have family in town: Nanny and Poppa, Grandpa Phil (Grandma Jan and Hailey were sick), Bradys, Harrisons, Brannen, and Flores family!  The water was pretty low but he only had to go under once.  Afterwards, we had a brunch with bagels, muffins, and juice at our home.                                 

Nanny and Poppa bought a house!! They live close to us and the Sports Park! So exciting!!

Melissa took Mom, myself, Natalie, Marin and Sophie to BYU's Christmas Folk Dance.  It was sooo good! I guess we forgot to take a picture.  Such a fun event!
