Katrina brought Anna down to meet Spencer and Sarah.  Ethan and Lydia were fascinated with feeding Anna.  

\Mark and Kristilyn's children attend schools in the Salt Lake School District and have been in virtual classrooms since March and will continue to be until at least mid-January.  This is Amelia's space.  


John's work space.  

Lillian's work space.  


Grant and James have some classes together so they share an area.  They even had a water coloring class with the teacher carefully monitoring their progress virtually.  

Mark built shelves on the boys' bedroom wall to give them more floor space.  

The family printed out the Proclamation on the Family with each person writing one sentence.  

The children made a very creative car jump!

Daniel's Eagle project was extended from just new toys for Primary Children's Hospital to lightly used toys and clothing for the Family Crisis Center.  The ward contributed 100 pizzas for the drive-by drop-off and over 300 items were collected.  It is an amazing project that will bless many people.  

On Sunday evening Talisa and Kira brought over things for Primary Children's for Daniel's project.  It was fun to visit with their family.
