    Cabelas!

    No Comments

    We went and saw Santa at Cabelas! We hadn’t done this for a few years and it was fun! we took the Saturday off from sports and had fun as a family and with lots of our Netty family. Everyone went to Carl’s Jr. afterwards.

    Millie asked for Hatchimals, Tiago asked for Duckies, Ray asked for an R2D2, Rose asked for Descendants Dolls, Cali asked for an American Girl doll, Packer asked for a drone and Benji asked for a merge Cube cause he thought asking for a Nintendo Switch would sound selfish 🙂

    The whole family got to go to the work party this year!

    Dinner at The Galivan Center and Ice Skating and Hot Chocolate and Cookies!! I was nervous about the ice skating but all of the kids surprised me and really just jumped out there and skated their best. It was fun and they are still talking about it.

    There is so much to do in December and you still have real life:

    kids playing in the morning and getting Ray to school after lunch:

    LaNell lets me come play basketball with her 9th grade team on Fridays. I brought the kids last time and we all had fun:

    Wrestling Tournament at West Lake: Ray won again. Packer fought hard but lost. Benji had to wrestle West Lakes Varsity wrestler in his age 7th-9th and weight group – a 9th grader. He has had a hard season but he is being tough.

    I loved watching the First Presidency Christmas Devotional this year! I miss President Monson.

    Cali got her braces switched up:

     

    and Ray has his first loose tooth:

    Rose LOVES drawing and now teaching Ray how to draw:

    I got to go to a Bridal Shower for Niece Shae!

    ANd this kid just makes me happy!

    Ward Christmas Party

    No Comments

    This year for our party they chose to do service instead of a fancy dinner, program and santa! It turned out great! We went and helped with kits and crafts and projects. Ben took a turn reading to the little kids while parents were busy serving. I think it was a great idea. A good change and fun to serve.

    The little kids were so excited to play in the snow! I was not excited to find all of the snow clothes BUT we did it and they actually played out there for an hour or two!

    Cali is 9!

    No Comments

    We’ve got a 9 year old in the house again!

    We got up early to open presents before school; Twister Moves, Futsal Shoes and bag,sewing machine, HUGE cards, and New coat!

    After school they played cards and then Cali had 2 Futsal games and the boys had wrestling and they had scouts and young mens and Cali had activity days… Grandpa took Ray to his wrestling and then brought Cali a gift! So after a busy evening we had second round of homemade pizza dinner and milk shakes and ended the CALI DAY.

    We continued some birthday fun and enjoyed the new toys for the rest of the week.And got her gift from Gma and Gpa Robertson.

    I didn’t start her cake until Saturday and it was a disaster – stuck to the pan, crumbly, … so it wasn’t the cake of the year but Cali and Rose enjoyed practicing their frosting skills:

    On Saturday night she had her cousin party! They played and sang and danced and then we did a candy cane game and cake and gifts and then watched Despicable Me 3. It was easy and successful:
