Christmas Service

 We did do her hair - for a few minutes before church….

 

Bowling Tradition

 Christmas bowling tradition continued! I am so far behind in posting from Christmas events and raising teenagers with a toddler - here is one of our favorite times over break. 

Lotte afterwards.

 Goofballs!

Lotte gets lots of cousin help. I can always count on one of the cousins to be helping Lotte anytime we are all together. 

Awwh. Levi and Nick

 Ensley with Lotte

 Reagan & Bella

Family Time! Thanks Grandpa Rick! 

PS I seem to be getting passed up by my two oldest in the picture, I best learn to stand up taller. 

Christmas w Pappy & Bubbe

We did Christmas a little later because Pappy had shoulder surgery. They came over last night to visit. 

 Snowballs.

 Fancy meat and cheese gingerbread houses

 Everyone opened a present that was a gift for everyone to enjoy. Most were fun games to play during the winter. 

Group Photo before Nephi headed to wresting practice (which is crazy late) and the girls headed to bed.

Nephi and Sydney 

 Drop off! Before long I will lose this job. 

 

Activity Days

 Cecily is old enough now to go to primary activity days! Of course they had a competition to make the most obnoxious gingerbread houses. 

 Bella is now the oldest in this class. 

 Wednesday night fun! They have both male and female teachers that rotate weeks. 

 This was also Coraline's last time. She will move on to young women's with Clairana which means she gets me as a leader. 

 

Johnson Christmas!

 Christmas with the Johnson family! 

Cecily with Uncle Jack 

Lotte and Aunt Rene. Lotte loves to read books

 Aunt Rene showing/teaching us her skills 

 

Coraline got lots of puzzles, she loves puzzles and audiobooks these days....

 PRESENTS! Such a fun night. Nephi was feeling under the weather but he managed to hang out and not spread his germs too much. 

 

Brand New!

You know those fancy commercials where the husband brings home the car with a big bow on it!! 

Levi bought us a brand new van for Christmas. It is lovely.

He even asked the dealership to borrow the bow. 

We had been looking at all sorts of vehicles for weeks, but I just love my Honda so much that we got another one. It drives like a cloud and a Lazyboy recliner perfect for all the taxing I do these days!

We kept our van to sell ourselves and it sold very quickly with tons of inquiries - poor Levi had to manage the Facebook marketplace post.
