Just FYI, tickets are available for the Draper Temple Open House beginning in 2009. You can reserve tickets by going to http://www.lds.org/reservations


I never thought I would say this, but I really, really like year round school. Scotlyn is out of school until January 5th. It's nice to have some down time during the holidays where we are not rushing to get to school in the morning. The girls are in swimming lessons for the next two weeks, yet another benefit of not being in school. Swim lessons are not as crowded as they are during the summer.


On Friday, we are going to go to the Festival of Trees. Every year, I say I'm going to go, and then I don't. I already have our tickets for this year, so hopefully everything will work out so we can make it. I really think the kids would love it. I also feel a special bond to Primary Children's Hospital. They have been so good to our kids, and I feel like this is a good way to support them in what they do for children everywhere.

We are also going on Friday! We're planning on eating at The Mayan afterwards. We should meet up because I know the kids would all have so much fun in the Kids Village there. Let's talk.

We usually go to the Festival of Trees Preview where they bid, but I was sick last night and we didn't get a babysitter. We already got our tickets for the temple tour. I'm excited.

Entertainment

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
