Camping Tradition!

I must have forgotten to post this on the blog in October! We went camping with our church buddies! It was so much fun. We are booked to go again next year! 

 

Winter Time.

 Christmas Jammies from Papaw and Mamaw!

 Baking Cranberry Orange Bread - I seriously found them like this.... really productive teenager.

 Cutting a tree down from the woods. It is spiky enough that the toddler will leave it alone. 

 Nephi cut it down.

 Adventuring 

 On the phone with Mamaw 

 Hot tub time on the advent calendar

 Breakfast time

 Church - Clairana and Nephi were greeters so I snuck in a photo with Lotte. 

 Christmas church party - Young Women were in charge of the treat and cocoa stations. 

 Nephi and Lotte

 

Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving this year! I barely took any photos but these were shared with me. Cousins arrived later in the evening then no one had time for photos with all the flashlight games. 

 

Nephi is 14!

Nephi's birthday! 

Going out to dinner and shopping with Pappy and Bubbe. 

 Morning presents with the crew. We will have a family rock climbing event once our house gets up to feeling better around here. Nephi actually spent most of his birthday playing Minecraft and eating all sorts of food request. It was a pretty relaxing way to start Christmas break. 

 

Temple trip

Took these teenagers on an early morning trip to the temple.  

 

Choir Concert!

Uncle Jack and Aunt Rene loving on tired Lotte.

 Coraline's Violin teacher came to watch too!

 Hugs from Uncle Jack.

 

 I told Jack he can start coming with me to church. I could use him in the pew. 

 

Co-op

 We were talking about genetics and each had to do a bitter test to see if they responded or not.

 Science for the younger classes.
