Lots of Snow, Skiing, and Happy New Year!

We got a lot of snow at the end of December so we decided to take everyone skiing - this is one of Logan's first times and he did awesome.

Kate's first time snowboarding.

 

We went to a New Year's Eve party at the Gibbys.

Christmas Eve

We started Christmas Eve with a nativity at the Nelson's barn. Logan was an angel, Scott and Austin were shepherds.

Then we came home and opened some presents (pajamas). 

Austin, Kate, Ty, Logan, Scott

Grandma and Grandpa Lewis came to join in the festivities!

The kids managed to go to sleep, then woke up for our first Christmas in our new house. (in order from oldest to youngest)

Scott and Dad

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas morning! We loved feeling and celebrating Jesus Christ in our lives!

Lemonade Stand

 Ty asked Dad, “How much does Alex Barcello make?”

Dad said, “He doesn’t really make money because college students typically don’t make much money.”

Ty replied, “Unless they do a lemonade stand!”

Fall Randoms

One of Mom's goals all summer was to get these lights up. Finally, it happened. There was a lot of trial and error. It was so windy, so weak spots became apparent quickly, but finally, we got them up!

The kids love playing with the Nelsons. Here, Kate and Pearl ride around together.

We went over to the Southams to see their new kittens and we even got to hold their pet snake.

Logan fell asleep like this one night. We joked that he takes his mask wearing VERY seriously.

Ty has found two new friends here and the three get along so well. They are pretty mischievous together, but so darn cute! Here they are as they sneak around together after church.

This was the summer of Walker Edison furniture. Mom bought and sold 12 patio sets along with miscellaneous other furniture. This was one of the patio sets Mom is putting together.

Here, we are at Kate's soccer game. Dad did not want to get his legs sunburnt, so he used chair bags and put them over his legs.

Dad planning out who is going to which BYU game this fall.

Kate and Pearl building rabbit cages.

The Nelsons all came over and we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Mom signed up to bring some bread and honey butter to a stake social. Little did Mom know, this would actually be in a booth and we needed to give out samples. Ty was excited to man this and did a great job!

Ty has been learning how to mow the lawn, here he is mowing the park strip.

Whitney and family came and visited from Puerto Rico. Here, Kate is holding cute Felix
