Winter Break

We had a great Christmas Break. We travelled to Utah and Idaho. It was great to see family and enjoy the SNOW!  We also started what we hope will be a new tradition, the "WTF(What the Frosting?) Gingerbread Showdown." As there was a dispute with the rules this year, we had no rules, next year we plan to make the competition more formal with actual rules. (see pictures below)

Lawrence cut two teeth over the break. He also learned to stand. He can stand on his own for several seconds now. Yesterday,  Lawrence learned to climb stairs. We are having a tough time keeping up with him.

Nicole's sculpture survived our long vacation. It is looking great and she figured out a new way to smooth it; she uses an electric manicure file.

Clayton is back in school. He really enjoys his Trusts and Estates class. The teacher has a lot of interesting stories and the reading is fascinating. He is busy getting ready for the Religious Freedom Moot Court.

Here are some of our favorite pictures from the break.

Lawrence went ice skating. (He kept kicking off his shoe)

Lawrence had a falling out with the big guy. Looks like someone was naughty this year.

Lawrence liked having cousin time and teaching Hazel naughty tricks.
