Once again I uploaded the pictures backwards. Here is the New Years Eve party we hosted. My grandma, Lamoni's parents, grandma and aunt, and all my local family were there.
We had quite the spread of food!
Lots of games...
This was Liam's big exciting thing for New Years. He didn't even leave it for a few minutes.
We went to Top Golf while Grandma Bear and Sybrina were in town (and Mel and Melinda still too). It was soo much fun!
Grammy also came for a few weeks. We got to spend good time with her while my mom and dad were busy.
This is a book about animals from Joy - the perfect gift for these boys!
Benjamin drew these nutcrackers freehand! I love them so much.
Don't Eat Pete! A fun game that Melinda brought.
The kids enjoyed eating and playing in the house Deruchette gave us for Christmas.
Lamoni's Aunt Marilyn brought Grandma Mary down to visit for a day. Sadly her memory is going and she didn't remember who everyone was, but we still enjoyed spending time with her.
It's possible the adults spent more time coloring the house than the kids did...
We did Christmas at Charity's house and Kathryn organized a
Mel helped Lamoni replace our stair chandelier. It was lots of fun to watch.
Joy gave multiple gifts to all her nieces and nephews. It was like Christmas morning all over again!
Joy read Liam the books that Grammy gave him.
Lots of lego building on Christmas!
Grandma and Papa gave the boys laser guns.
Grammy always gives the boys books for Christmas, and they're so fun to pick out.
Attempting to put together the house Deruchette gave us.
Christmas morning!
Liam had asked for this airplane for his birthday after seeing Dantes'. We couldn't find it then, but he never stopped talking about it. By chance I found it and he would've been happy to just get that for Christmas! It's nearly May right now and he still has it with him almost 24/7.
Kathryn and Jacob hosted Christmas Eve.
The kids did their traditional nativity play.
We had a huge charcuterie board spread.
Lamoni made probably 15-20 pies over the holiday season!
The boys have been setting up a pizza stand.
Liam's good friend down the street. They go to church with us and it's been so nice to have them nearby!
We did a 2 month trial of martial arts. The boys really liked it but we want to try out a few other places before making a big commitment.
Lots of Santa playing happened this month.
Our ward Christmas party
Kathryn and Nathaniel came to our party.
Liam loves my dad soooo much!
Liam will play with melting beads for 30-45 minutes easily.
Benjamin learned how to make my cranberry bread which has been sooo nice, since I give a loaf to just about everyone. Unfortunately there was a little accident with a bread pan - sadly after he had already made and filled it!
Scripture picture book reenactments
Benjamin won 2nd place in our homeschool group car race for the older age division.
Preschool at Haizley's house. He insisted he wanted to go to school, then a few months later he insisted he didn't want to go to school anymore...
Post-church Sunday nap
One of the families in our homeschool group has chickens that Liam loved while we did an activity at their house.
Choir practice at our house - I love Liam's hangout spot.
Visiting primary getting ready to leave nursery in January. Fast forward to May, and Liam still won't go to primary happily!
We went to Charity's church Christmas party, which is always catered by Olive Garden!
Liam intently told him about the "Delta airplane" that he has consistently asked for (and ended up getting).
Last day of their homeschool coop with the Barelas group.
