We ended our first trimester of Monday School with the kids presenting the special projects they've been working on. Abe studied wild cats and made this poster with some of the facts he has learned.
Sophie, Rylee and Zach studied cooking and for their final project, they made dinner for us. They made lasagna, salad and a scrumptious triple layer chocolate cake. Rylee and Zach's moms joined us for dinner and we enjoyed getting to know them better--two great families.
We were serenaded by a bevy of beautiful carolers-- the Young Women in our ward. More importantly, they helped whittle away at the mountain of goodies Brandan's very generous patients gave him for Christmas.
Saturday we headed up in the mountains for some snow and sunshine. Helen discovered her inner dare devil. She started out going over a snow jump about 6 inches away from the jump. With no momentum, she'd get stuck on top of the jump and need a push to get over it. By the time we left, she started high on the hill above the jump, sat on her saucer criss-cross applesauce, closed her eyes and hurled down the hill, laughing as she hit the jump and launched into the air.
Sophie veered off track at the end of a run and had the choice of hitting a tree or a bush. She wisely chose the bush.

We are so glad that there is snow nearby for your family to be able to go sledding.
What fun sledding! I didn't realize you guys had access to such great snow. :) It was great to talk with you on Christmas. We love all of you and hope your holidays are the best!
Glad to see snow! We are heading up tomorrow with Matts family to try to do sledding. We were fearing getting there and having no snow! Again, one more "great job mom!" pat on the back for monday school - good for you!
I am jealous at the easy access to snow. Looks like fun. I can't believe all the Young Women that are in the ward now. Abe's poster looks great and the cake looks divine. Sophie looks like she will be a great chef like her mother.
That sledding looks like fantastic fun!
I tried to look close and read Abe's cat info. I love all of the extra curricular learning, especially if it involves a triple chocolate cake.
