Nephi - Goal Complete

Nephi was challenged this year to read The Book of Mormon all by himself- he completed it and was treated to lunch with his leaders. 

 

Concert - Stirling

For Coraline's birthday we got tickets to see Lindsey Stirling - a few months after her birthday. It was a blast. The venue was amazing and was just built so everything was so clean and nice. Craziest thing happened. I mentioned a couple days before that we were going to our friends, and it was so crazy we ended up in rows right behind each other! She is so talented and did such a great job of being a role model for girls during the concert. 

The costumes were so beautiful. 

It was Christmas themed which I didn't know but made the holiday even better.  

 Their sweet family in front of us!

 Levi stayed home with Lotte and Nephi.

 We got there pretty early not knowing how hard it would be to get in and it was a snow storm. Plenty of time.

 

Birthday Fun

The girls got to go see their dearest friend in her new house to celebrate her birthday! They had such a great time, and their mama sent me these photos. They ended up going to a trampoline park too.

 Fun little ones growing up and adventuring with friends. 

 

Choir Concert x 4

Tippecanoe Youth Choir - Winter Session.

They all love going to choir and I am amazed at how well they are learning to sing. It is so nice to be part of a professional choir that has amazing instructors. Clairana and Nephi come home and help me learn to sing better. Private Voice Lessons. 

We sing hymns in church every week, so it is a real confidence lifter for them to be able to read music and sing well. 

 

River Cutting - Trails

Overdue Post! 

Levi completed the trail project at the end of summer that brought both sides of the river together. 

We all went to show him support. We were the only family there, but we are getting pretty used to that when it comes to showing the kids how the cities actually work during the day while others are in school.

 Fancy new trail.

Sticking with our New Year tradition. 

Hotel Fun.

 Getting close to midnight!

 Crazies.

This year we all piled into Brooke's room to watch the ball drop and use those tiny loud trumpets for far too long.
