January and February

Our old van died over winter break while we were visiting my parents.  Luckily they let us borrow their car to get us back home and to get us where we needed to be the following week.  Thank goodness for internet searches and van reviews because we were able to narrow our search down and go to the used car dealership to check out 2 different vans.  We decided on a 2016 Honda Odyssey.  We love it!



We have been trying to be better at family scripture study.  It helps that the kids now have their own tablets (and their new pillows too).



We went to Chick-fil-A for a PTA school spirit night.

Megan painting on one of her Christmas presents.  We'll stash it in with the other Christmas decorations and bring it out next year.



We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings to support the school's jump rope club's fundraiser.





Tyler was pretty proud about decorating his very own Star Wars Valentine's box.  (He used lots and lots of tape!)




I helped  Megan with the Hello Kitty box.  She drew the white hearts on. 



And I helped Emily with covering the box and cutting the legs on her spider, but she did the rest.

We didn't get our traditional Valentine's dinner on Valentine's Day, but we made it a few days later after we attended a Grizzlies hockey game (where I apparently didn't take any pictures.)
