We had a big snow storm at the beginning of the week. It snowed all day and all night and we ended up with 18 minutes of  snow! It was so awesome! All this snow really makes it feel like Christmas!

Here are the kids getting ready to leave for  school. We gave them a ride in all this snow. 

Lizzie and I spent part of the day playing in the snow, she loved it!

Once the kids came home from school they made snow forts, we went sledding and we played outside until after dark. 

We decided to do a little construction on our bathroom upstairs. We are replacing the tile etc... 

Isaac helped me clear off the tramp, so the snow wouldn't damage the trampoline mat. It was SO much snow, and it was really heavy too. 

Joey does well in the snow, he blend right in, and you can only see his eyes. 

The kids and their friends having a blast sledding. 

Lizzie made me this ornament at preschool. I loved it! She was so proud of it. I love all of her crafts! 

Cute Emily and her friends played in the snow all afternoon and they loved playing with Joey. 

All the three oldest kids started Basketball in December. Here is a picture of Emily's team. She's learning a lot and doing really well. 

Thursday night Isaac left to go to Las Vegas with grandpa Shields. He and Spencer got really hot in the car so they took their shirts off. All the boys headed to Vegas to watch the BYU vs. U of U football game in the Las Vegas bowl. They had such a fun weekend doing all boy stuff!

While the boys were away we were lucky enough to hang out with Jennifer, Chandler, Chloe and Eden! We had a blast watching Eden for a couple of hours. We played in the snow and she loved it! 

later we went and saw Santa at Jolley's she asked for animals, and wasn't scared at all. Emily and her had so much fun together. 

The boys lived it up in Vegas, rollercoasters, pep rally, eating out, late nights, and they saw the new Star Wars. 

Goofy Grandma and Grandpa came up on Saturday to see Eden etc.. They all snug gled up on grandpas lap. 

Jack and Megan were here too, but  Jack hated Santa! 

Taylor met the Imagine Dragons singer, Dan Reynolds at the game.  He was so happy about this! He loves their music. 

The kids did a fun Nativity in Sharing time on Sunday. I love serving in Primary and getting to teach the kids the gospel.

Emily played the flour game at Mono's house. She didn't find the money because Lizzie had taken it out! But she did get a lot of flour all over her face!
Only 4 more days until Christmas!
