End of 2016!

 Waiting to use the kids' gift cards at Wendy's.

Danny is magical.

 Batboy and Batgirl.

 And the magic man.

 Grace painted their faces. Charlie is the lion from Lion Guard, and Alice is the cheetah.

 Grace loves the sewing machine Grandma Terisa got her for Christmas!

 And Alice loves the no-sew craft set Grandma Terisa got for her.

 Paul is a good daddy:)

 Grace's sewing machine came with stickers to decorate it.

 Eating at Wendy's. Thanks, Grandparents Flake!

 Paul and the boys walked around at the movie theater while the girls used their gift card at Claire's. Danny saw this baby and insisted it was him!

 Check out the seal's name! "Bethan, Bethan, we love sick! Toenails shine like pearls!" (If you never lived in the quads, you won't get it.)

 They both needed new footy pajamas, and this is what they picked.

 Hill Air Force Base museum with Grandpa Gabe.

 Charlie also got new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle footies. Add his new green bean bag chair, and he's a real turtle!

 Dominoes on New Year's Eve! Bethany, Emily, Dillon, Jessica, Cassidy, Spencer.

 The fog when Paul went to pick up the Dillons early this morning.

Handsome Charlie all ready for church with his R2-D2 backpack:) Happy New Year!

Christmas 2016!

 The ornaments I got for my side of the family. Each person got the one corresponding to their birth order, and Mom/Dad got #12 and the big one in the middle.

 I shipped them all with Christmas cards and lots of drawings from the kids.

 Proud to be #5!

 Living in Utah means lots of neighbor gifts, many of them punny.

Playing with our just-add-water snow.

 "Skunkies" at the zoo.

 We were the only people there!

 The lions were just a glass panel away from us. They are gigantic!

 Cool ice sculpture at the zoo.

 The tiger posed for me!

 He got really excited when he heard the guy coming to feed him.

 Tortoise love.

So close to that lion!

 Waiting for Paul to pick up lunch at the BBQ place, Danny got pretty silly in the car.

 Doing crunches before the big meal.

 Our Christmas card wall.

After-dinner nativity program with the Cutlers. 

 Reading Twas the Night Before Christmas before bed.

 Santa gifts.

 Christmas morning. So excited!!

 They loved it all!

 Candy for breakfast.

 So much snow!

 Shoveling the driveway.

 Dessert bar.

 Paul built a fire for gift opening.

 New musical tie from Charlie. He picked it out at the dollar store.

 Paul got me a dodo bird:)

 From Danny.

 Paul got me an Ancient Aliens coloring book!!

 The girls were so excited!

 More snow.

 10 inches.

Leftovers buffet.

 They made brownies after the chocolate cookie idea didn't pan out.

 Cool icicles when we played in the snow yesterday.

I got buried!

 In some of their new clothes from Grandma Terisa.

Had to steal this picture that Beth posted of that miserable Emery family reunion in Featherville. When was it? Like 18 years ago? No one is smiling! I'm the one on the right in a swimsuit. As I recall, I got really burnt!
