Christmas

Christmas 2015.
It's now February, so I suppose I'll do the recap with pictures.

Santa Claus wanted to bring you guys a surprise this year... I was so excited for it!

 Christmas Eve at Grandma Colleens.  And back at our house with the Lafeen's.  Christmas brunch at the Hardcastle's with the Petersens.  We ended up staying there the entire day to help Grandma Hardcastle with dinner later on.

Then, we headed to the cabin with Mimi and Papa for a few days.  We had Christmas up there spent a few cold and beautiful days.

Silver Mesa

New year, new school, new teachers, new house, new friends.  It's been a crazy summer/fall.

Your new school is Silver Mesa Elementary in Sandy.  It's about a mile away, but across a pretty busy road, so I'm not sure you'll ever be able to walk.  I really like your teachers.  Mrs. Bailey used to be a kindergarten teacher, and she's definitely more warm and friendly than your last teachers.  Senorita Gonzalas is really nice too.  You have one friend in your class that lives behind our house, but is in a different ward, Peter.  Every once in a while you guys will play at each others houses. I tried to get involved with the PTA this year, and technically I am, but I haven't done much.  I'll try harder next year.  It's still pretty hard to volunteer in your classes while I still have Milo and Kate around.

And the Birthday Party.
This year was a friend birthday party and we went Rock Climbing at a local recreation center.  We invited all the boys from the ward (I think 6 or 7) and your friend Max, from our old neighborhood.  I think you had a fun time and all of the boys eventually made it on the wall (a few were a little reluctant to put on the harness.

You also had a bunch of family parties, as usual!  No shortage of celebrations around our place.
