Happy New Years Eve!
We brought in the new year at our house playing Mario Maker and trying to keep the boys awake. They both made it until midnight and we watched the firworks go off at the Space needle. Happy fun times, everybody!

Magnus wanted to get into some of his toys this morning before we were awake. I think a sleepy momma may have given permission for him to use the scissors to open his box. He did succeed in getting out the toys without injuring himself. So that was good.

Our ward Christmas party was tonight. Magnus got to dress as a shepherd (he’s the kid dressed in brown about 4 kids right of the music director). We also made cheesecake for the party, but our pans went missing (sorry, Anton!). So always remember to label your dishes you bring to ward parties!

We picked our Christmas tree today. It was just drizzly as we drove up, but when we got to where the good trees were, it was sleety-snowing. So we didnt look for very long. I feel like that happens every year…

We read about some petroglyphs on some rocks near our house so Dana walked down and took a picture of them. They are hidden in the bushes in front of the Grant House. Pretty cool.
