Tuesday, more puzzle fun, and Emily & Justin took Kari and Kaitlyn to scuba dive at the Midway Homestead Crater. The rest of us went to see the new Mary Poppins and loved it! That afternoon was had some down time and Alice made some funny faces with her rodent looking teeth.
That night we drove to Maddox for dinner! Unfortunately Bethany threw up as soon as we got to the restaurant. So weird it was two days after her first throw up episode. I got some funny pictures of Alice pooping at the dinner table. That night we said good bye to my parents who left to go back to Florida.
Wednesday the kids went back to school. Bethany seemed to not feel very well even though she never threw up again. The Smiths were skiing all day but we spent time with them and Mickelle in the evening.
Thursday Alice turned 10 months old!
Emily, Justin, Kari and Kaitlyn went to do baptisms for the dead at the Bountiful Temple. Dylan and Kelsey hung out with me at home. Mickelle, Emily, and Kari later went down to Provo for a hair appointment. I had a regular afternoon hanging out with Justin and the younger three Smiths. They worked on packing up as they would be leaving the next day. Kelly Kump came over after school to talk to Ben about joining Cub Scouts! He attended for the first time an hour later! We had dinner all together and Jonathan even came up in the evening to hang out for Emily and Justin's final night with us. We watched a Fast and the Furious spoof movie called "Super Fast." :)
Friday I started cleaning and putting back together my house, in addition to putting Christmas away. It's always so great to have visitors, but also great for things to go back to normal. Anna played at Lizzie's and McKenna played at Brittana's after school. They both ended up having dinner with them. We continued to clean and put Christmas away.
Video of Alice and cute tongue thing.
Saturday I got up super early to attend an Endowment session and loved the new changes! I steam mopped and vacuumed then we headed to Brady Leavitt's and Taggart Lewis's baptism!
McKenna went to Lia's house and Henry and Desi came over to play. The evening was the usual baths and Sabbath day prep.
Sunday we got lots of snow right before church so we were late for our first day of two hour church. The snow kept coming down so much during church that Dan had to help us get home. We also did our first "Come Follow Me" lesson after church and the kids attention was ok, but we needed to do the reading before hand.
Monday was Ben's 8th birthday!
Dan took Ben out for breakfast.
Cute video of Bethany singing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas."
Video of Ben playing a kind of peek-a-boo
Anna had a playdate before school. I made it to school just in time for Ben's BD spotlight in his class. That night for dinner, we went to the new R&R BBQ because Ben said he wanted steak and mashed potatoes. He got several calls, texts, and cards. I especially loved this text from Lara Vance Webster's mom, Jane which Ben responded to. :) And the screen shots of my parents singing to Ben are pretty great too.
We opened presents after dinner. Walkie Talkies, a poop emoji key chain,
Some Legos and candy from his Primary teachers, and some money from Grandfather.
Ben is such a loving, friendly, creative, smart, and funny boy. He is loving piano and Jr. Jazz right now and especially looks forward to baseball in the Spring. He loves Legos, Pokemon, and dot-to-dots. He made a New Year's resolution to be more honest, which in his mind meant he had to tell me who his "girlfriend" is. He's our favorite son!
