Mckinley goes to Preference

Buddy up to more fun!

Mckinley asked a boy named David Cook from cross country to preference. She went with her school friend group this time.



We hosted the dinner for them at our house and it was super fun!



We decided to do the 12 days of Christmas for our kids this year and some days we did really fun activities, others were gifts, and some days were super low key, but it was so fun!

We took the kids to Teppenyaki for the first time. I thought Tyler would like the chicken but he didn't. But the rest of us loved it I think!

We took them to Nickel City for one of the days.

And ice skating! Something about ice skating in the winter is so magical!




We discovered decorating cookies with royal icing. It was soooo fun!

We hosted the Bishop Christmas dinner at our house and did Breakfast for dinner in pajamas. It was pretty fun!

Had to go check out the Babbit's Christmas decorations! This was the best Christmas season ever!

Christmas Season

We made it to the mall to see the gingerbread houses and I'm so glad we did! They were so cool!






Christina treated me to a Gentri concert up in Salt Lake and it was amazing!!



 Buddy really outdid himself this year with all sorts of creativity.


We're down to two littles who are interested in riding the carousel.


Love our tradition of going to Riverwoods at Christmas time to see Santa.




Kids Bingo with Marmee and Grandpa. The kids always love this! Kallie and Sophie love being helpers and get spoiled rotten for helping.


There were so many incredible sunsets in December!!


Loved watching Mckinley compete in her first season of high school cross country. It takes a lot of grit and this girl has it!
