All pretty and ready for church with straight hair.

Ezra has been SO into learning the letters. He's started to sound out his own sentences. This is a sign he put on his bed and it says, "I love mom. I love dad. Now I know my ABC's."

Our first big snowfall of the season, we got 10" this day!

Lance auditioned for and performed in Handel's Messiah in Coeur d'Alene. It isn't Christmas until we go to the Messiah and this year he got to enjoy it from the stage. It was wonderfully done and he really, really enjoyed being part of it! 

 

Cora Turned 9!

Cora turned nine this year! I can't believe how big she is, she's got 20 pounds on Kimball but is still about one inch shorter. She still gets up in the middle of the night and sneaks food while watching tv. She struggles with her handwriting and math but is doing well on reading. She loves to help me in the kitchen, LOVES food, and loves to dance. She's spunky and wears her emotions on her sleeve. She's sweet when she wants to be but is easy to come out of a bad mood. Cora darling, we sure adore you!

 

Craft Day in UT

Craft day in UT was another one for the books! Lance let me go Monday-Saturday and Mom came to Christine's a few days early as well so the three of us could spend time together. We always have the best time chatting, eating, baking, cooking, shopping, cleaning, etc. It is such a treat for me to get away from my daily routine, have the kids and Lance appreciate what I do for them (hopefully), and just have some girl time with the family. Charity and Savannah came up for a few days, never a dull moment when they are around. And Sydney and her two young ones came for a few days as well!

I'm not sure that the kids had a home cooked meal while I was gone, but boy did they have fun with Dad! One night he set up the tent in the basement, loaded them up with snacks, and put a tv in the tent for their slumber party. Dad is the best!
