Christmas II

Emery finds happiness and joy in lots of places. She is thoughtful and unusually productive for an 8 year old

She made these small items for Lori - very colorful.

Griffin has a large animal/pillow combination. It has a fearful mouth with fangs and sort of transforms

This was a most thoughtful gift. It is a book with all of Elder Whiting's emails, letters and the photographs published on his mission blog. Morgan and Rebecca created this and gave him and us a copy.

Gwen now has the helmet ready to go with [Grant's] bicycle. Off for another spin. He doesn't like the helmet but she tries to put it on and can almost get it secured by herself.

This was a surprise. These small, but detailed, models are put together by following the booklet directions. Liam can do very complicated ones without help.

Getting ready for 7-11. Rebecca also uses this as a time to practice some simple math examples.

Gwen has got her drink ready for the excitement

Grant rolls the dice. This year the players were very good about keeping the throws on the table so we seldom had to retrieve them from under the table.

We were happy to have Lois with us for the holiday season.
And Jeff back from BYU

Breakfast. It looks like Morgan has a double armful of customers

Emery is using some special pens to create artwork

More breakfast. I think Griffin enjoyed his yoghurt
