From the sideline to the competition mat, cheer continues. This team has started off with a bang winning first place! They already look incredible, I can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings for them.
Dallin had his first band concert and they sounded great. I am so grateful to music teachers who help these kids learn skills like reading and playing music. I'm sure it's not an easy job but I think being able to read music is a nice skill to have.
David got the honors this time of driving cross country to bring Carmen home from Idaho. She is on the Fall/Spring track, which means she doesn't have school from Jan-Apr. So she'll come home and work for a few months. But before coming home they went to the infamous Bean White Elephant party. David has always wanted to go and finally was close enough to be there.
We all couldn't wait for Carmen to get home, but we were most curious how Koda would react. It was no surprise he was thrilled to see her! And she was thrilled to see him too.
A snapped a quick family picture on Christmas Sunday after church. It feels so good to be all together again.
The siblings gifts are possibly everyone's favorite part of Christmas. And tradition has it that they give their gifts on Christmas Eve.
After Dallin jumped up on Charlottes hip, everyone else tried to do it too. They were being so silly.
And on Christmas Day we went to see the long anticipated The Boys in the Boat movie. Ever since Carmen did rowing and was required to read this book, which I read as well, we've been mesmerized by this story. When we heard it was being made into a movie, we knew we had to see it. But it took years to make and the wait was long, but here it finally is. And it turned out to be a good flick!
For New Years Eve Dallin made these spicy chicken sandwiches which left us all drooling and wanting more.
And bright and early on New Years day, the first thing Dallin wanted to do was be ordained to the Priesthood. And so we made it happen.
And that's a wrap on 2023.
