1st time sledding

We decided to take the children sledding out at the sand dunes.  The hill they were sledding down was steep.  Adalyn went down it one time.  Then she decided to go down the smaller hill.  We were not out very long, but everyone had fun.

Driving

During Christmas break we decided we were going sledding.  Someone decided to take pictures of everyone in the Suburban.  I don't have a pic of James, and I don't know why.  But these are fun.

Silly Pictures

Here are some fun pics of Adalyn and Hyrum.  Adalyn is a goofy girl sometimes and I love her for it.

Something that it is not!

The boys had to make something for their Shakespeare class that wasn't what it appeared to be.  They decided to make a cake that looked like a meatloaf.  I have to say that it tasted good.

Decorating for Christmas

We enjoyed a day of decorating our house for Christmas.  I have to say I loved the stockings around the fireplace but they didn't last long.  I ended up hanging them in the windows.  Everyone had fun this year, and we enjoyed finding places to put everything.

Adalyn and Hyrum

Adalyn LOVES Hyrum.  She is so great with him.  I can't keep her out of his face.  I just wanted to share this picture with everyone.

Temple

One night we were driving home from somewhere south of Rexburg and it was a cloudy night.  It was really bright outside.  I told James I was going to go take pictures of the temple.  This is my favorite one.  I actually put it on my desktop.  I love great pictures of the temple.  I love that my family is learning about the sacredness of this building.  I am grateful for Adalyn ALWAYS wanting to drive by the temple.  I am grateful for Carl wanting to go.  He told me one day, "Mom you know why I can't wait to get my cast off?"  I was thinking so he didn't have to wrap his arm to take a shower.  No he said, "I want to go to the temple."  It was the best thing a mother could hear from her child.
