XO

I went to Real Deals today and they had a whole section for Valentine's. I saw these wood blocks and thought they were really cute. I'm spreading the love in the house.

Durango

Yesterday we went to Durango to watch Morgan play in an indoor soccer tournament. It was really fun. Her team took 1st place. Yay Morg! We met Shane for lunch and Gavin and I walked around in the cold.

Back to School

We haven't been doing much except hanging out over the holiday. Today Gavin wasn't too happy to go back to school, but at least they had a 2 hour delay.

10 Things I Did This Year

I don't lead a very exciting life, but here is my list. I will have to work on things next year to come up with a better list. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

1. Went to Disneyland at Christmastime with Gavin - fun, fun, fun!
2. Rode the Polar Express with Gavin to the north pole!
3. Was up early enough to see a sunrise.
4. Saw my son baptized.
5. Remodeled both our bathrooms.
6. Went to hundreds of soccer games(just seemed like it) but enjoyed every one. Go Scorps!
7. Got two new puppies - very cute.
8. Went camping with the family.
9. Went horseback riding.
10. Watched Gavin grow.

Science Experiment

We haven't been doing much since Christmas. Just relaxing and eating and eating. I start my annual new year's resolution in a few days. We'll see if it works this year. Gavin has been playing on the computer and with his video games. He did get a science kit from Grandpa which he thinks is very cool. He has been doing lots of experiments with it.

White Christmas

We had Christmas Eve at Aunt Tammy's with the family. Then the kids opened their annual Christmas jammies. Group pictureSnow day

We were lucky and got a White Christmas. Probably a 1st in 5 years.

Christmas Lights

Tonight we braved the cold and headed out with hot chocolate to look at Christmas lights. We took Sam, Morgan, and Gavin. It was an interesting ride with lots of entertainment from Sam and Gavin. This house, out by the mall, is one of the best.

No More Please

This has to be the last one. Tonight we went to church where the laurels and priest do an annual gingerbread making. One person didn't show up so Gavin was really excited to make another one. I'm totally done. He had fun again. I think he would never get tired of making gingerbread houses.

Gingerbread House

Gavin insisted we do another gingerbread house. This will be his 3rd. I hope we are done. He was very excited.

More Snow

I had to post these pictures from this morning. Especially for the Californians. Gavin was upset because school wasn't delayed. Aztec is on a delay and Durango schools are canceled today. If it keeps up look for snowman making pictures later.

Morning of Snow

This morning we woke to a blanket of snow. This picture was taken after church, so some of the snow had melted. It was really pretty to see all the white, except for sliding to church on the ice.

More Gingerbread

We did another gingerbread house at my sister's. I don't know what it is about the CA houses, but they don't stay together. The kids had fun, though.

A little tree trimming.
