Luke & Jonah took snowboarding lessons while they were off-track.  They rode the bus and were gone all day for four days.  It was exhausting but they were very happy with how quickly they learned this new skill.  It was cold or snowy three of the four days but they toughed it out.

All of the kids playing outside on a cold day.  This is one of the few days Morgan has been outside.  She hates coats and shoes so she has to stay in most of the time.

Luke's Baptism

Luke in his suit ready for his Baptism.  We were the late family that didn't have time to take a picture of him in his white jumpsuit. 

Playing with cell phones on the back row kept them quiet for most of the meeting.  It was a packed house with 2 other boys being baptized at the same time.

Here's Grandma and Grandpa at the house after.

Luke was really excited to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It was a special day for him.  He was very happy to be baptized with friends and have a big party after.  We're so proud of him for making this great decision in his life.

Morgan's Bday

Morgan opening presents on her birthday.  She loved opening and throwing the wrapping over her chair.



She tried so hard to blow out the candles.


So, now she's two. She's a good girl. She does know how to run the place, though. She has a great imagination. She was just trying to blow out the candles in the pictures. She loves dolls, babies, and animals (we think). Lately, she meows like a cat with a scary face and we're pretty sure she's trying to scare us. She has one blanket and that's it. Last night, she wouldn't wear pajamas. She only had on a onesie and so I put an extra blanket on her after she was asleep. Sometime during the night, she woke up and found it and threw it on the ground. She sleeps in a crib so we know it was deliberate. She makes us laugh.



Kira's Christmas Dance

Here's a quick video of Kira's dance class performance (edit: I can't get the videos to load off my camera).  She was distracted by the candy canes, Christmas tree, candles and parents.  She really loves being in dance.  But if you accidentally stand on her butterfly, you are likely to get gently nudged, stood on, or pushed down.

Christmas Tree

The girls really enjoyed decorating the Christmas Tree.  It's a little ornament heavy on the bottom with a few limbs holding several ornaments but they are very proud of it.  Kira told her Grandma today, "I hab a tree, I made it."  The boys helped a lot too.  The barest part of the tree is the top where only I can reach.

Here they are rearranging the ornaments after church.  I made them skirts for the holidays.  They are slightly different but you can't tell from the pictures.  

Halloween

Morgan rocking her cute pirate costume.  She will wear a mouse costume for trick or treating because it will be so cold.
