We spent our last few days of the year:
Building Legos for hours. Days. It was a peaceful, great time!!
hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Murray!
Here's Maris and Cleo playing catch with Grandpa.
and Owen and Cleo having fun with the pool table.
We went to see the new Star Wars! Me, Eric, Kate, Whitney and Ryan and Cortnee. Loved it!
Katelyn is so good at playing with little kids, good thing! She happily let Cleo drag her all over the place.
Also one day whitney made a salad sandwich for lunch haha.
Eric and I greatly enjoyed our Thai food and mall shopping anniversary date! We also stopped at Home Depot and a shake place- it's amazing how many places you can go in 4 hours with no children!
Pretty Happy to have been married for 12 years!
New Year's Eve Day we went sledding with Kurtis in Layton, it was a great hill!
Unfortunately the girls BOTH broke their sleds early on and BOTH decided to be grumpy about it and not sled anymore for most of the time we were there because they didn't want to take turns. Okay fine! Here's Eric with Owen and Maris:
Maris ended up being the most excited about sledding; she loved it!!
She kept saying "self" when we would take her down the big hill, so finally Eric let her go alone from the top, with me waiting at the bottom. I barely caught her before she hit a tree, and she was like "no stop!" she was upset that I saved her! haha. She had a great time.
Owen ended up just playing in the snow,
WHitney sulked in the bushes,
and here's Katelyn doing her spinning trick one last time before the end.
We had fun with one kid anyway! And with Kurtis, too bad I didn't get any pictures of him!
Maris and Grandma just sitting and eating and talking. maris thinks she is so big!
and before we went to bed on New Years Eve we read scriptures and had our last family prayer of the year! And then a group hug. :)
One of the bright spots amongst the fighting and grumpiness and rudeness that so easily takes over these days. But we will carry on and keep trying to do the right things!
Here's to 2016!
