Here are some highlights from the 3rd week of December. It was the last week of school for the boys, and work for me for the rest of the year!
Carter and Nyles decorating a Rice Krispy train we got from a neighbor as a gift. Earlier Hudson taking off the ornaments from the bottom of the tree. He thinks the ornaments are balls and tries to bounce them on the floor. Thankfully they're shatterproof.
Carter painted an ornament and Hudson eating some crackers.
Hudson is standing up and grabbing for everything.
Buddy the Elf hiding around the house.
He likes to move throughout the day as well, which the boys just LOVE!
On the night of Tuesday, December 14th we got DUMPED on with more snow!
We got over a foot; it was crazy!
Hudson excited to sit on his chair and see all the snow the next morning.
The school district cancelled in class learning, but said it's now an online learning day. Nyles' teachers then had homework for him to do online. He wasn't happy about still having to do schoolwork, but at least he got to stay home and play in the snow. He also got to go to Carter's program that morning.
Once we got out of our circle, the road were better and at least somewhat plowed. Carter wanted to dress up even. He was nervous the night before saying he didn't want to go, but after he got dressed up and we got there, he didn't look back. His program was at the old Draper Theater. He sang his best and did all the parts to the songs. This was his last "day" of school before Christmas break.
Carter singing, and Steve holding up Hudson so he could see better.
Here are many of the songs they sang during their Christmas Program.
Carter did so awesome!
Carter did an awesome job! We're so proud of all the work he put into learning the songs and parts.

When we got back, Steve and the boys worked to shovel out more of the snow. I had to get back to work but watched them from my window. Hudson took a nap thankfully.
Carter making a snow angel. Look at all this snow!
The snow didn't stop Piper. She still wanted to play ball! Carter and Nyles playing in the snow.
Cute Hudson w/ a bear vest on, then giving Nyles a hug while we go through a store.
On Friday, December 17th, Nyles had his last day of school. They had a party and did fun things!
It was also my last day of work for the rest of the year, oh yeah!
That evening we went to see Carter and Nyles pass off many of their skills they've learned in martial arts over the past several months, to get their yellow belts.

Nyles breaking his board.
We asked Nyles to do his pass off w/ Carter and the younger group so we didn't have to sit through 2 of them. Mostly since Hudson has a hard time sitting through it and Steve and I both wanted to see them.
Nyles and Carter working on passing off things they're learned in martial arts in order to get their yellow belt. They both worked hard over these past few months and got their belt! Awesome job!
Buddy the Elf riding our dinosaur. After we got back, we put Hudson to bed, then had a movie night finally. We watched the newer Grinch movie. The boys like to wrestle and Hudson likes to give hugs. Carter likes to have lots of stuffed animals when he goes to bed too; silly kid.
Saturday Steve went duck hunting w/ Nyles, Rob and Zach, for the last time this season. Steve broke a propeller on the boat trying to get through the ice on top of the lake.
They got a couple ducks though, so it was worth it :)
Carter loves pajamas. These are both PJs Nyles used to wear. We found more downstairs, including this Paw Patrol one, that match the slippers Pauline gave us :)
Buddy hiding behind the snowmen, Hudson eating some chocolate, and playing in the ball bit.
Sunday evening we went up to Brandon and Melanie's house in Midway to do our annual Jerusalem Dinner. We try to eat simple foods that Jesus might have eaten.
We don't use utensils either, and eat on the floor. Hudson sitting w/ Joann, licking his plate, and everyone w/ their food (most of us that is). We then had a testimony meeting after dinner. It was great to hear everyone's testimony and strengthen each other.
Good insight:
At this Christmas time, it is my hope and prayer that we will never forget that without Christ, there would be no Christmas celebrations. There would be no hope, and no joy. There would only be sadness, misery, and sorrow. But, thanks be to God and to His Son Jesus Christ, we now have hope, and we now have joy in the expectant future resurrection of the dead, and the salvation of mankind.
I testify that He who was born a baby in Bethlehem, now reigns as our Lord and God in heavenly glory.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
