Thank Goodness for Camrie!

Camrie decided to read Colton's note from his teacher. It said that he had to bring a decorated valentine box to school no later than February 9th (that is tomorrow!) I am so glad she read that (because I don't read things). He would have went to school tomorrow with no valentine box. How sad! It is so cute isn't it! It is soooo valentineish. Thank goodness for the cricut because we are not creative people.

Colton is so silly!

Today, Colton asked me to help him read chapter 2 of the BOM. I asked him what he remembered from chapter 1 (he read it with camrie). He said, "I don't know, there is a guy named Nephi and a guy named Ben."

I said, "Who is Ben? There is no Ben in Nephi!"

He said, "Yes there is"

He turned the page, and pointed to the word Nephi and then the the word been.

It said "I Nephi having been born of goodly parents...."

It was a good laugh.

Christmas

Christmas was as usual very fun. It was a little different because Brett had to work from 8:00 Christmas Eve Morning until 8:00 Christmas Day Morning. On Christmas Eve, we went to the Fire House and had dinner and the kids opened 1 present (pjs, of course). Then the kids and I came home and went to bed to wait for Santa. Travin woke up first about 7:30 and Camrie and Colton woke up about 8:00. When Brett came home everyone was ready. The kids chose to open Grandma and Grandpa Greenhalgh's present first. They had to read a little story about the 3 little pigs and the baby pig went WII WII WII all the way home. They guessed it was a WII. The kids got church clothes, pj's, and a few other things for Christmas.

fun in the snow!!

Family Pictures

Grandma Greenhalgh has been begging for a new family picture. We finally got it done and here are some of the pictures we took.
