December 2022

 

Ivy has grown so much!

We got a lot of snow in December! It was awesome! The kids spent hours playing in it:

Hyrum loves my old Snuggie:

On Sundays, our kids tend to all play together happily. It's wonderful!

Hyrum was in Art Foundations 1 in the fall semester, so I got to go to his art show and see his self portrait he did!

Hyrum also made a board game for his history class and made these adorable British soldier burritos for it:

Ivy had a winter showcase of her Nutcracker dance and one of her competition dances, and it was so fun to go see her. She did great!

I celebrated a birthday this December! A few days before my birthday I went to lunch with a friend and Ivy and I got sang to with a special dessert at Olive Garden:

On my birthday there was Kolaches in bed for breakfast and some fun decorations and presents:

I also got my hair dyed for the first time on my birthday!

Yummy chocolate mousse cake and the kids singing to me:

Zane had his last wrestling tournament on New Year's Eve, and he won two of his three matches! He did so great, and I was especially proud of him because he kept trying even when it was hard:

We had a fun New Year's Eve playing games and eating appetizers with our friends at home this year:

Ryan went to bed, and Ivy fell asleep 15 minutes before midnight, but most of the kids and me made it to midnight!

Hyrum got to meet the author Brandon Mull this month at two different events! So cool!

Ryan and I went on a date one night to a Mexican restuarant in downtown Provo and then to a radio play of, "It's a Wonderful Life." We also stopped into Pioneer Book quickly for some warmth:

Ryan went to Top Golf with the Elders' Quorum this month and had a great time:

Ivy met her reading goal for her kindergarten class and got a special certificate from the principal!
