Luke rocks! he helped me hang Christmas lights for REAL this year









I organized a neighborhood "Care and Share"  to collect food for the needy, socialize as a ward, and bring some Holiday spirit.  This hear we hired Joe Jensen to bring his horse and buggy for rides. It was so neat

Adelia's Grinch Play in 3rd Grade





Last day of School before Winter Break




This is about as much snow as we were gonna get for Christmas

So..
We went ice skating a lot instead





Piano Recital.
Since Tianna and Adelia were here only students at the time, and very recently she started teaching her own daughter, we held the recital at our house.  It wasn't a great idea after all.. our piano isn't the most tuned... and it was very squishy. But the point was for the girls to show off all they had learned the last 3 months and they did an awesome job.


More ice skating on Grandpa' pond








Peacocks Christmas tree.. we helped make some of the woodland ornaments.




Christmas Eve was a Sunday so we let them open their Christmas dresses and shoes


This way they could be dressed in their Christmas finest for our special Christmas Sacrament meeting, singing at the Beehive Assiste living center, and then when we hosted Christms dinner as our house!

New Years'n at the cabin
























It was a crazy Christmas vacation without snow but we loved hanging out, shooting trap, and ice skating and ice skating some more. 

And with that... 2017 is a wrap.  What a great year!!!
