Christmas Day Fun

We had a great Christmas.  We enjoyed watching the kids open their presents.  We enjoyed the morning at our house playing before going to the Steenblik's for more presents and lunch.  After we went to the Clark's for their presents and then dinner.  It was a fun relaxing day.  It wasn't a white Christmas, but it was a white day after Christmas, and that was pretty awesome.

Christmas Eve Party

We had another great Christmas Eve party at Margie's house.  We were lucky to have all the cousins together.  It was a good party and even better after party when the kids all got their Christmas jammies.  

Lunch Date with High School Friends

I was able to meet up with some of my friends from high school for lunch.  It was nice seeing them and getting caught up with what they are doing.  We didn't have a high school friend party again this year.  A little because of Covid, but I think mostly just because it just didn't get planned.  We are hoping to get together more often with us ladies.  Life gets busy with everyone going their different directions, but it's nice when we can make it happen.

Mutual at the Aquarium

For mutual the boys wanted to go to the Aquarium, and they invited the moms to come with them.  The girls got to sleep at Grandma Margie's house the night before so the boys and I could go to the aquarium in the morning.  

The aquarium isn't very big, so we were able to go through the whole thing in about an hour and a half.  After the aquarium we all went over to Chuck-a-Rama for lunch.  It was a really nice time spent with Tyler and Josh and other families from our ward. 

Last Indoor Soccer Games

 Allie and Megan had their last indoor soccer game yesterday.  Allie started the game playing goalie.  I was concerned that she was just going to be scared of the ball and struggle, but it was quite the opposite.  She wasn't scared at all and did a really good job going after the ball and even stopped a couple shots.  I was a proud mama.  

Megan played really good as well.  She played defense the first half of the game and then played midfield the second half.  She went after the ball and stayed back when needed.  She has played defense most of the season, so it was extra fun to see her play a different position and go after the ball more.  It was another proud mama moment.  It was fun to watch her, and she enjoyed this season of indoor soccer.  

Frost Christmas Program

The kids were able to sing a couple songs in the school's Christmas program.  Tony was able to take the day off and come to the program (that made it extra special for the kids).  They all did a great job and looked super cute.  It was so nice to have this program back this year and feel like things are more back to normal.  

SNOW DAY!!!

It snowed a good 10 inches overnight, so the school district decided to have the kids stay home and do a distant learning day.  The kids love the snow and love playing in it.  The boys and Megan were big helps getting the driveway shoveled.  

Tony had a hard time getting to work this morning.  He got stuck getting out of our driveway.  He was able to shovel his car out and get it moving around the corner in front of our house before he got it stuck again.  He tried to shovel it out again, but it didn't work this time.  So, Tony waited it out until a plow came in front of our house a little before 6:00 am.  After the plow came by Tony was able to shovel his car out and get it onto the plowed road.  It was quite the early morning adventure.  

We hope to have a lot more days like this.  Not only do we desperately need the snow, but it is beautiful and fun to play in.  And the kids like that they always get yummy hot chocolate after playing in the snow. 

Kitchen Update

Tony and I wanted to redo the floor in our kitchen.  We figured we might as well fix up our walls while we changed out the flooring.  We decided to paint and add Waynes Coting to the wall to help protect them from the table and chairs.  Tony just needs to add the corner round to the bottom of the cabinets and then we are done with this project.  It is nice having it mostly done and having our kitchen and dining room back to normal.

Frost Holiday Family Night

 
The kids elementary had a family holiday night last night.  They had a reading corner, craft corner, scavenger hunt, and cookies and milk.  Tyler stayed home playing on the computer with a new friend he met in seminary.  The rest of us had fun doing the activities and seeing friends.  

Tyler is a December Lancer Spotlight

Tyler was recognized at school from his math teacher as a student who was Thoughtful, Empowered, or Connected.

He has really been enjoying high school.  He is getting good grades and meeting lots of new friends.  We are proud of what a great young man he is.
