We went up to Heber on New Years Day. We loved getting out of the bad inversion here in the valley, seeing some new wintery scenery, and sledding in the warm sun and clean air. We spent the majority of the day there, sledding, eating out, and doing a bit of shopping. It was a fun day trip.
Winter also means lots of indoor crafts. This minion one was pretty fun.
And we made peppermint-smelling snow dough!
My parents and sister came for a long weekend in late January. On Saturday, we tried something new and let each child have one full hour of uninterrupted "Granby" time. They LOVED it! Emma played Bananagrams and talked with her; Rachel chose to read stories, draw and paint nails together; and Luke played games and toys with Granby. It was so fun for each of them to choose what they wanted to do with Granby and have one-on-one time with her. We also ordered pizza, made cookies, and watched Despicable Me that afternoon. What a fun day!
Alexandra spent one night with us and the kids were THRILLED to have a guest sleep over! She went to church with us the next day and we had some good playtime with her Sunday afternoon. We are so excited to have Alexandra here next fall when she begins her schooling at BYU!
January was a rather "blah" month otherwise. We're always happy when it's over. :)
