After Thanksgiving my brother Spencer and his family moved to Florida. We were so sad to say goodbye to them. We baby sat the girls one day while they worked on packing. I couldn't get Emma to take a nap so Andrew snuggled up with her on the couch and she was out in minutes. That boy loves babies and will miss his cousins.
We were lucky enough to have BYU play their bowl at BSU Stadium so the boys got out early the last day before Christmas Break and went to the game.
They got to go down on the field and meet Zach Wilson (a former teammate of their cousin, Easton). They loved it- didn't hurt that BYU actually played well and won.
After we got home from our DC trip we went ice skating at the new outdoor rink in Caldwell. The kids had a blast playing with cousins and learning to skate.
Natali was awesome and taught Lily how it is done - because I don't skate. I can't risk another tailbone fall.
Here they are all ready to go. I cheered from the side, took pictures, and took the littles when they were done. Lily did pretty well for her first time but she, JT, Samantha, Rachel and Luke were happy to go get hot chocolate while the rest of the kids kept skating.
Emmy and Kate surprised me with how well they remembered and how long they were willing to skate. Fun times.
Exciting news at the start of the year meant that Kate got to go to the Temple in January - 4 months before she turned 12. She loved it, can't wait to go again, and has been working to find her own names. She is also going to Young Women's now. So hard to believe. The change also moved Andrew to Teacher's and Mack to Priests. They were ordained last Sunday and now Mack can bless the Sacrament. Such an exciting time to see all the changes in the church to move the work forward and increase individual testimonies.
More teeth pulled out all by herself - she has an adorable smile right now.
Saturday was Lily's first time in skis. The weather was perfect for a first day. She had a lot of fun - didn't get very far away from me ever - but progress was made and she had a great time. Skittles game didn't hurt at all.
