Skating

Aurora and I had the opportunity to attend Scott Hamilton's fundraising event (Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer) in Bountiful. It was a ton of fun and the hosting club put on a great show. You can read about Scott's time here.

 Aurora also skated in the Spring show in March. She skated to The Hard-Knock Life from Annie. She was a cute little orphan.

A couple of her friends were able to come and skate after one of the nights.

My 35th Birthday

I had a good Birthday/Valentines Day weekend this year. Friday night Joseph and I saw Dead Pool, Saturday we went to Andy's Bar ( a Greek food place that we love), and Sunday we had cake and ice cream with the kids. It was especially nice having Monday off too. Oh, and Walking Dead started up again on the 14th so it was a great birthday weekend. 

Winter Hike

We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday hike with some friends from our Post-Mormon group. The waterfall looked amazing all frozen over. We even saw a couple of ice climbers.I am excited to do this hike again in the spring when the water starts falling. Hiking in the snow is pretty darn fun especially with yaktrax.  

Fun Play Pictures

These two were playing secret agent.

Spa

Logan loves money and loves to save it. He wants to be a business owner when he is older. He opened a spa in our front room and gave back rubs, foot massages, and did our hair. It was a relaxing evening.

Christmas

We had a great evening looking at lights. This year we decided to go to the Christmas Village in Ogden. We ended the night with our favorite tradition of getting Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Below are a few pictures from Christmas morning. We all had a wonderful Christmas and feel so blessed for all that we have. I love watching the kids.

The picture below is for my own documentation. This year we decided to put together bags of some essential items for those in need. We got the idea from the school counselor where Joseph works. The counselor put together bags over the summer because she saw many in need as she made the drive to Salt Lake each day to visit her husband who had been in a terrible work accident. She had given us one and so we thought it would be a nice way to pay it forward and hope that it will continue with those we gave one to.

Braces Off

The long awaited day finally happened on the December 16th, she was so excited and even more excited that she was given a treat bucket.
