Happy Birthday, Lyza! And Christmas is SOOO Close

 We have been enjoying a new puzzle board and doing Christmas puzzles


We replaced our couches that we got shortly after we were married



We love this new sectional


And this deep corner seat


We decorated our tree







I replaced a couple of our light switches with smart dimmers


Our stake had a Christmas creche event with over 400 nativities from around the world


It was a nice event






Our Christmas elf is back. He even toilet papered our Christmas tree


Mason's class got to go on an eagle watching cruise and Kim helped out



They saw hundreds of eagles (all the white dots in the trees are the eagles' heads)


What are these two up to?


Henry got to go on a date with Kim to get frozen yogurt and had a blast



He also got in touch with his Canadian roots at Costco


Our boys have too much energy


One evening when Kim was working the kids and I picked up dinner and ate it at my office


Our elf had to set things straight after someone touched him


We had our first (and only so far) snow fall of the year and the kids were very excited to shovel


Henry had a day where he thought helping was the best thing in the world. He swept the floor, mopped the floor, and did lots of cleaning around the house. It was magical!


Lyza had her Christmas concert and did an amazing job


The next day she celebrated her birthday with a group of her friends and they had so much fun






That's a lot of candles!





Kim got to join the girls playing some games so they had even numbered teams


We have a teenager!


Kim had a work Christmas party that night


Last week Lyza practiced a solo she will be singing in a choir piece for our Christmas Sunday service. She has a very beautiful voice.


While Kim was working that day I took Henry in so Kim could take a look at something near his ear



She also took a quick look at his kidneys (everything was fine) and he thought it was so funny



For breakfast on Lyza's birthday she got cinnamon rolls


It was a pretty winter day


That night she chose to go out for frozen yogurt




She is growing up too fast!


She had fun opening gifts





Her brothers didn't have as much fun


Henry loved muffins for breakfast the next morning


Mason got tripped and hit his face on a chair leg a school and got a pretty nasty bump and bruise


He had his recorder concert that night



And we got to see Santa


Cookies after were a hit


Henry couldn't wait to start his new book


These two had Christmas spirit for their last day of school before the break


Mason also won an award


Henry got to make a yule log in class


Nixon and a class mate got to make a ukulele in their challenge class and brought it home to finish it off 



Henry chopped the vegetables to help make soup for dinner


On Friday we had our first day of skiing for the season


Henry got all the rust off his skis





Mason enjoying a run




It was a beautiful day



Lyza was happy that she had school that day ;)


Christmas is almost here!

Merry Christmas!
