After New Year's, we had a long break before school started, so we went to Utah. It was nice to let the kids get some snow play in, and it was doubly nice to see and visit my family again. This time we weren't as busy as we were at Thanksgiving, so it was much more relaxing, and I got a chance to finally go out with my friends, yay! We also had my brother's family for Christmas and even though it was a little late, we got to give it to them in person. We had a fun time making their gifts --a wooden Aggravation board game, a beeswax luminary, and some wooden nameplates for the kids to hang up with their names wood-burned in Biblical Hebrew (they all have bible names) with the accompanying translation. Of course, we gave them some toys too, since nameplates aren't that fun, but hopefully they'll appreciate them later. And like always, we didn't take any pictures, so I have to write it down so we don't forget.
Besides playing in the snow and harassing the cat, the kids had fun playing on the cushions and such in my parents basement. One of the main highlights of our stay though was going ice-fishing with all the cousins. It was very slippery, which made Gabe a little nervous. Ethan took it in stride, and although it was cold and only one fish was caught the whole time --by my niece of course-- I think it was still a fun experience for the kids.

Another cute video! I like the boys pillow fight. Hope things are staying good with you and the family. We are busy in the move. Love, Crystal
