Ice Castles
We went to the Ice Castles this year. It was a beautiful sunny day, which made for very comfortable temperatures, but melting-dripping-on-your-head ice castles.
The kids loved it and so did we.
Emily, Tyler and Megan all wanted pictures on the top of the snow pile before we even made it to the actual ice castles.

It was beautiful to take pictures looking up at the ice formations
The kids wanted to try the slide. They were only wearing their pants and they got pretty wet!
Trying out the ice thrones
The kids loved meeting Elsa and Anna at the end

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.

The kids with the cow
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.
Dunkin' Donut heart-shaped donuts for breakfast on Valentine's Day
Valentine's hair for the girls
Tyler getting a "big hand" at the Blue and Gold banquet
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.)

Home for the Holidays
We were able to spend a few days visiting my parents after Christmas. We all had a wonderful time!
The kids loved going for sled rides behind the ATVs.

One day Darrell took our van so he could go exercise at the Y. He got a little ways down the road before it died on him. It turns out it was a broken timing belt, and possible bent rods. I was really "sad" to hear that. ;) It's been a great van for us the past 5 1/2 years, but it was nice to have a valid excuse to look for a new one.
Of course there was lots of yummy food to be had!
We celebrated Olivia's birthday and she had this adorable unicorn cake that Kimberly made.

We had a "show"

Derek and Tansy arranged to have Hadley blessed at my parents house. Tansy's parents were able to come up and it was a wonderful occasion.
