Aspen is in the Friend!

Last February when Jonathon and I went on our 10 year Anniversary trip, my mom and Tony took the kids to Disney World. As they were driving back to the airport they stopped at a ward building to attend Sacrament meeting. They had a neat experience that Aspen wanted to write in and tell the Friend about. She has been looking every month in the Friend waiting for her story to appear. I tried to prepare her that not every letter gets published. She could accept that, but she was sure hers would get in. And here it is! (I think if you click on the picture it enlarges it so it's easier to read.)

School's out!

Aspen again. We are now officially on our 5th day of no school.My dad didn't even go to work this morning because when we woke up, guess what we saw. Frozen rain was everywhere.

Yep, those are icicles on our lawn chair.

Christmas Vacation

We are currently on day 3 of canceled school because of the weather. Only two more chances of the kids getting to go to school this year. I don't mind too much, but I need just a little more kid free time to finish getting ready for Christmas. (I was kinda counting on this week to finish up...)

The other problem is that I am running through our "things to do on Christmas vacation" list. Christmas vacation hasn't even started yet! We are going to end up with 3 weeks of vacation. I like it so much better when big long stretches like this are scheduled. But oh well...

We were going to do these next week, but we needed something to do today, so here are our "gingerbread" houses!



The finished product!
