It was a big birthday year for Lincoln! Eight years old means baptism and cub scouts, both of which he was so excited about.
He had decided on a friend party this year, but at the last minute chose to go to Planet Play with the family instead. Fine by me! Grandma and Grandpa Holbrook met us there, and after some game playing we came home for cake and presents.
This month has felt miserable to me. I'm so glad it's almost over. The only thing I can attribute it to is the weather. I love love love the snow, but temps here have been frigid for most of the month. At least we live above the dreaded inversion, and have clean air to breathe.
We have managed some fun despite the misery. February HAS to be better, right?
Most of my pictures from Christmas morning are on my camera, which are not accessible thanks to the afore mentioned computer. It was a great morning, though, trust me. The kids loved seeing what Santa brought.
Rich, Marla, and Alayna came up for breakfast burritos and more present opening. We had fun hanging out while Matt and Rich put Kensie's new bed together.
Later that afternoon we went to the Youngs for even more present opening!
We spent the day making treats and getting things ready for Santa's arrival. In the afternoon we went to the Youngs to play with cousins and open or Christmas Eve presents.
Then we headed to the Holbrooks (who were in town for Christmas this year yay!) for a yummy dinner and cookie decorating.
Back at home we put out milk and cookies for Santa, and got in or Christmas Eve Jammies!
The busyness continues.....
We had fun at the Young family party, playing in the snow, WALKING to church for the first time (love having the new church building two doors down!), attending the kids school Christmas sing, and seeing the lights at Thanksgiving Point.
The ward party was fabulous this year. Yummy food, primary nativity, and the jolly old man himself! The kids were in heaven. Landon parked it by baby Jesus (aka cabbage patch kid) and wouldn't leave his side.
