We visited Christmas Village in Ogden with the Corless cousins.

We made cookies with the Porter cousins.

(Aaron had his wisdom teeth out on Thursday, so he's a bit swollen still.)

And Seth Pretended to be Santa Claus. (They do have the same initials!)

Aaron is part of a 7 part acapella group at school. his group one the popular vote at the talent show, and were asked to perform again, at a follow-up assembly. Please excuse the grainy video, Matt was recording from the back of the theater. Here they are:

Aaron's Christmas concert

The Christmas concert at the High School was amazing. I had to get a picture of the finale, over 300 choir, band and orchestra students, plus alumni from the audience, 

performing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. 

Wow. It was amazing.

Micah's mesmerized...

Levi's first glasses

Levi made it longer than any of the other kids, but he finally joined the "Glasses Club" and I think he looks great!

This year we drove up to my brother John's house for Thanksgiving. It was great fun and the food was amazing! We took a few minutes to go show the kids the waterfall of Idaho Falls.

Aaron in Hello, My Baby

Aaron participated in a musical this Fall, called Hello, My Baby. 

He was a plugger, or someone who sings on street corners, selling songs. He was amazing!

Levi's Pinewood Derby

Levi had a fun Pinewood Derby. He designed his car to look like a skeleton from Minecraft. 

He placed 7th overall, and had a great time.

We have another teenager!

We enjoyed a beautiful morning at Red Butte Gardens! 

Levi's Baptism

Levi was baptized on Saturday!

I love this picture of him- so bright and cheerful, just like him.

He was SO happy to spy a family of ducks while we were at the park taking pictures!
