NEW YEARS EVE

We arrived in Boise just in time to celebrate New Years with everyone.  We had fun playing games and making noise.

DRESSING UP

The little girls had a lot of fun with Grandma's princess dress up, and Abby and Maddy enjoyed getting a make over by their Aunt Jessica and Aunt Afton.

The kids had fun ice skating and looking at lights with their Idaho cousins.

MADDY TEMPLE

Due to the recent church policy changes, Maddy was able to go to the temple for the first time.  It was a beautiful experience watching her get baptized in behalf of her ancestors.

FAMILY FUN

Audrey was thrilled to get a hand me down Minnie Mouse dress from one of her cousins.

Both Audrey and Brooklyn love pickles!

Shopping together

Brookyn and Audrey love the new water table from Grandma and Grandpa.

Brooklyn decided to try on Audrey's jacket and Nathan's shoes.

ANIMAL CHILDREN

My kids figured out how to take weird pictures on my phone. 

HIKING AZ

We have hiked almost every weekend in January.  The weather this time of year is perfect and it makes for a fun, free date night.  We have some trails just a few minutes from our house that offer a beautiful view of the valley and the temple.

ZOO LIGHTS

Abby won a drawing for 2 free tickets to the Phoenix Zoo lights from her dentist's office.  She and Jared enjoyed the lights and the giant bugs.
