Christmas tree and fireplace magic. We started early this year and have loved having the magic of Christmas a little longer this year!
Nathan and his "Hot Choc Fudges"
Bumpa and Grandma before all the hit. These kids love their visitors!!!
SNOW!!!
The day I started showing some symptoms of Covid we were busily decorating our house for Christmas!
Zack surprised us all and auditioned for a lead part in the play his 5th grade class did. They worked on it for a couple of months. Zack was the Stowaway in a Pirate Play. He had several solo singing parts, even almost an entire song. He had tons of parts and he did so well. Due to Covid restrictions I couldn't go so we had to watch it on zoom. I was in tears! I was so proud of him and so sad I couldn't be there to clap loud and give him a giant hug afterwards. He did sooooo good! He has such a sweet singing voice. He is a shy guy and he really put himself out there and nailed it. He is the one in front with an orange mask in the photos.
Giant blueberries for lunch!
Learning to crochet. Next generation of crocheter in the making!!!
Graham has no idea how to play chess, but Levi is so sweet to humor him, and they just play with the pieces. These moments make my mama heart so happy!
Ornaments for the year!
We got a few more gnomes to add to our collection and Makayla has fun pulling them out and playing house with them.
More art projects on Fridays!
She is such a cutie.
I got sent some oldies from my sister in law. This is little Daniel and his nephew Isaac.
Dan's dad
More quarantine play. Kids tried. to have a sleepover together. Most ended up back in their own beds though!
Dan decided to open up one of his birthday presents early so the kids could work on them with him. They have loved the Harry Potter Lego sets he got!
Pre bedtime wrestle time!!! They all played out a bunch of blankets and rolled up together in them.
Nathan and his card games. He LOVES any and all card games!
Somebody accidentally started a Group FaceTime call by accident off of a text feed, but we all ended up having a fun night chatting with my mom and sisters. It was a super fun accident!
My Christmas present came early! With my Covid lungs and my hamstring/knee still getting stronger, it doesn't get as much use as I would like, but it has been so fun to have the option! Kids have used it a few times, Dan and I have used it a few times, and I look forward to using it more! Merry Christmas to ME!!!
Zack was super bummed that his favorite singer got cut from the Masked Singer show. He has such a tender heart!
Quarantine school work!
Lego building day!
A family in our ward dropped off a Thankful game with some treats. The Larsen family have been so sweet to our family and have done such cute things for our kids. It was a fun game to remember what we are thankful for!
Practice practice practice. This kid is getting pretty good!
Finally finished with adding Santa!
My niece Vivi texted me for the cheeseball recipe we have brought to parties before, so I made it too and we sent pictures to each other.
Poor Nate and his 4 hour zoom calls. He did so well!!!
Oh Graham. This kid gives us plenty of laughs!
