A few years ago Olivia was given this darling kit to make a Nutcracker puppet show. It was a little technical for her at the time, so I've saved it. This year we pulled it out and carefully cut and assembled all the pieces and it turned out so beautifully. She was really happy with it.
Olivia also made these cute bracelets.
We attended a performance of the Nutcracker, where one of my Laurels was one of the lead ballerinas. She did a beautiful job!
Owen and Olivia attended a coding class at the Apple Store, while Jonah and Charlotte played on the store iPads. Everyone had fun!
We took all our YW to Temple Square one freezing night in December. Olivia came with me.
We started doing yoga together at night to help the kids relax before heading off to bed.
Olivia and Nate went to see a Christmas Carol at the Hale Theater and to Chick-fil-a for a date night.
These were our Christmas cards this year.
And Olivia helped me get them all ready to put in the mail.
We had the stomach flu wreak havok on us one week. No fun. Everyone but Nate was sick.
I started back to work at a clinic in Nate's office. It was fun to use my PA skills again.
This awesome guy just goes out and shovels people's driveways just to be nice. We sure love and admire him.
Morgan, Karch and Carter stopped by one Sunday night to visit. We sure love them!
This year we had a gift box under our tree and each day we gave a small gift of kindness to Jesus. By the end of the month the box was full of all our good deeds. We loved this new tradition! Here is one of the things Jonah did to help.
Owen and Olivia had a piano concert and they both did a great job! We love our piano teacher. She is just wonderful with the kids.
I found this old Christmas photo of my family growing up. So funny to see!
We had a candle light dinner one night and the kids LOVED it!
We went to visit Barb and share our favorite Christmas books with her.
Owen and his friend Rex have really enjoyed baking lately. Here is one of their creations, pizza for dinner! Love it!
For Christmas we gave Grandpa Johannesen this T-shirt and he sent us this picture. We sure love him and Grandma!
