Two days after Christmas I took down all of our Christmas decorations. I took one more picture of Austin and Adelaide before we took down the tree. Austin drew this sweet nativity scene. I'm hoping next year he'll draw one that I can use for our Christmas card.
Aaron has had the last two weeks off and he spent one day up at his parents' house helping Duane with their house. While he was gone, the kids and I did science experiments.
Aaron hasn't been to the money museum with us so we decided to go one afternoon. With free tickets, it's a great place to take the family.
Next we hopped on the street car and toured downtown KC. We stopped at Union Station and saw the Christmas lights and then walked over to the Crown Center and picked up ice cream.
Aaron's aunt Margaret and her family rented an RV and stopped in KC to visit us. We loved having them! It's nice that we've gotten to see them three times during this year. We picked up BBQ and then went up to Duane and LeeAnn's to ring in the new year.
We brought in the new year with a dance party! My favorite!
Cheers to 2022!
Eleanor has been SO excited to be a Sunbeam and church was canceled today because of the weather. It snowed all day Saturday and got really cold. The kids loved finally being able to play in the snow and they've spent hours outside. We had church at home this morning and I told Eleanor that I was excited to be her Sunbeam teacher today! The kids all practiced sharing their testimonies and Eli said - "I know that we are all children of God." I know that simple truth will give our kids purpose and direction as they navigate the world around them.
Aaron goes back to work tomorrow and I'll miss him! It's been so nice being at home these past two weeks. We've created tons of family memories together. The boys don't start school until Thursday so we get to keep them home for a few more days!
I love the energy that comes with a new year! Here's to using our time wisely and setting goals to help us be our best selves.
