We are enjoying our Utah families. James and Grant continue to delight us with their creative Lego projects.
Little John will be one in a couple of weeks. He is standing by himself but hasn't taken his first steps alone yet.
Monthly Sunday night dinners are fun and the toy room gets a workout. After dinner we had a program. Talisa played her recital piece, James and Grant sang "Mr. Lincoln," and Lillian and Amelia led the family in "Popcorn Popping" and "The Wise Man and the Foolish Man." Keith really knows how to make it fun for the little ones!

James and Grant's Christmas projects for school. James talked about Peru where their teacher is from and Grant talked about Mexico.
John looks very cute in the sweater set that Candice Smith made for him.
Kira is beautiful and sweet.
Lillian and Amelia really love to color. They hold the crayons properly and it has been months since they have colored on anything inappropriate. They can be very precise and add cute little circles around the edges of the paper. This picture is also to show how long their hair is getting. This pictures is taken in the family room. A favorite activity of the boys is to build domino houses on the tread mill and make them crash off the end.
Saturday was Talisa's piano recital. Three teachers held the recital together for their students and the teachers all played. Kim and Talisa performed well.
Talisa has new glasses. She has finished with her braces and now has retainers.
