January Fun

We were able to go back to the cabin a couple weeks after Christmas break. Hmm..what's that mound in the distance?

Why it's our woodpile!

If I remember correctly, the woodpile probably goes up to my eye level. Good thing we have lots of wood on the back porch!

The kids tried to dig out their previous snow fort. After they couldn't, I did. Burned my calories for the day!

Trunks are buried.

If you didn't want to go through the garage door, you had a fun snow hill to hike to the front door. 

 

Violet was invited to a friend's Lunar New Year party. She made a Chinese lantern, played with fireworks, ate doughnuts and hot chocolate, and watched the huge fireworks go off at the end. They even had a Chinese dragon. Kids could fill these red envelopes with monetary donation and "feed" them to the dragon. All donations went to the food bank.

She had so much fun, and it was a great cultural experience.

Here we're just enjoying a play day at Mamie's with cousins and pizza.

And now all 3 of my girls have tried to cut their hair. Ugh. I took her to BYU where they cut it all short. I will miss those curls!

But at least Ivy and Talmage had some fun while we were passing through the bookstore.
