Over the past few days, we have been in Salmon, Idaho with family! We left on the 27th, and came home today. We went up there to support Mom and Dad Hobbs as they gave their mission farewell talk in church. We knew we wouldn’t be able to see them again for a long time, […]
Merry Christmas everyone!!! What a wonderful Christmas we had today! The kids got up early (as usual) and prodded us into getting up as well. Santa came, and they were excited to see what was brought to them… Everyone had a blast seeing what they got, playing with toys, and opening presents… Among other presents,
Today/tonight, we carried on the tradition we have been doing with friends for about 10 years now. We invited a couple of families over (Liddell and Ahlstrom) and we had dinner at our house. After dinner, we went caroling to 5-6 families in the area (in all three wards we are all in). We had
Today we decided to take a little excursion and went up to the Hammond Candy Factory in Denver. This place is a pretty popular place, especially at Christmas! They make world-famous candy canes, ribbon candy, and other fun stuff to eat! We went to the store there at the factory and got some stuff and
Today we had our Christmas theme Sacrament Meeting at church. The choir sung beautifully and Brittany and Kirstyn got to sing a duet together. They did a GREAT job and we’re so proud of them!
The last day of finals was today! No more Statistics class for Brittany! She is SO excited to be done with that! The boys still had to go to school today but are done after today until the break is over in January. Today, Ben got a gold certificate for his behavior! He went above
Tonight we went caroling as a ward. We met at the Red Hawk golf club and then drove around to care homes for the elderly in the area and sang to them. It was fun and the kids really had a great time. We had about 30 or so people there. The elderly had fun
Today we went to Zach’s first basketball game. It turns out that his team is REALLY good. They totally blew away the other team by something like 25 points! I wouldn’t be surprised if the team went undefeated this year. After the game, the girls had a service project cleaning and repairing bikes at the
Tonight we went to an awesome Christmas party at the Fradin’s, some friends of ours. There were a ton of people there that we knew and we had a wonderful time! We ate a lot of food and we had a fun white elephant-type gift exchange (gifts for the guys, gifts for the girls) that
Tonight we attended our 5th concert of the week, but we only had one tonight (in addition to having to run Zach to his basketball practice and barely making it to the concert)! 🙂 Brittany and the Chamber Orchestra did a GREAT job and they sounded wonderful! Great job playing Brittany!
Today was absolutely crazy! We had 3 concerts for the kids. We were run ragged by the time they were over. We went to Kirstyn’s, then ran Zach over to his right after that and watched his, then ran right back over to Brittany’s concert and watched hers. They all did a GREAT job! We
Tonight was a crazy night! Zach had basketball practice and Kirstyn had her Holiday Band Concert. Getting to everything and making sure everyone was where they needed to be was tricky. Kirstyn did a wonderful job in her concert! We love listening to her play music. Great job, Kirstyn! Keep up the great musical work!
