Let there be snow!

 Last Sunday, Danny and Ruby playing in the toy room and showing off their blocks castle.

 Sick Charlie.

 Cassidy didn't want her picture taken.

 Brothers in law.

 So much snow out our front door Monday morning! 2 hour delay at school.

 Danny all suited up for playing in the snow.

 So much snow!

 It ended up being about 14 inches.

 Danny reading in his cozy pajamas.

 Grace reading Harry Potter to everyone in a British accent.

 Charlie's lego slab.

 Charlie's 100th day of school paper: "When I 'm 100 years old, I will sleep and grow a beard and eat mac'n'cheese. I will love it!"

 Toby in Paul's old sweater. It's 2T, but barely fit.

 Plus Charlie.

 Weird Danny.

 Toby eating a banana.

 And ravioli.

 Happy and messy!

 Tulips from my boyfriend.

 Homemade Indian chicken.

 Toby and Danny playing together.

 Dad and Mom's couples retreat. Dad, his 5 brothers, his 4 sisters, and all their spouses.

 "I've got the magic baby!"

 Paul painted Charlie's beak for penguin day at school.

 Fun dad. And strong!

 Charlie was in charge of watching Toby while the rest of us finished our chores.

 Charlie and Danny all dressed up.

 Living room chilling.

 Making pepperoni rolls with my helpers.

 Playing out in the snow with Mommy.

 How could I not be madly in love with this naked baby?

 He's so sweet!

 Me and my tulips.

Our little reader.

Dressed up for penguin day, complete with yellow socks.

Harry Potter party

 Old picture Sarah found from a stake girls camp? I'm in the pink shirt in the middle, with Erin Wilmoth in yellow next to me.

 Grace's First Vision drawing.

 Alice's.

 Charlie's.

 Danny's.

 All ready for the annual Harry Potter party. Charlie in a robe, Grace in a hat, and Alice/Danny in pj's.

 The "mystical orbs" were dry ice bubbles.

 Sorting hat with Charlie's teacher. Alice was hufflepuff.

 Ravenclaw!

 Playing outside the next day. Danny with his wand and Harry Potter scar.

 Happy outdoor boy!

 Alice hurt her head, so tied a pillow to it.

 We had leftovers for dinner, so Charlie made a mashed potato/gravy caterpillar with grape eyes and pretzel antennae!

 He is a WEIRD kid!

 Our First Vision wall.

 Feeding himself (for once).

 Weird Danny.

 Trying to help my preteen feel better after a bad day at school.

 Me and my girls at the multi-stake fireside by Collin Kartchner on the evils of snapchat and tiktok.

 After baby's first chocolate chip cookie:)

 The kids have been into magformers a lot this week.

 Also, dance parties.

 100th day of school. Poor Charlie was already starting to feel sick with a cough.

 Big magformer castle.

 Charlie usually has so much fun playing outside, but he wasn't feeling up to it today.

 Naked baby!

 All the choices at the Harry Potter party. The kids had to make their picks ahead of time to help Paul and me plan our routes!

 Charlie was sorted into Slytherin.

 Griffyndor!

 Toby was pretty tired and grouchy through it all.

 Making troll snot.

 Charlie's mystical orb really worked!

 And Grace's.

 All four kids went to the magic show at the end.

 More magformer creations.

 Cute baby!

 Another gem Sarah found. I'm in the middle in yellow, Erin Wilmoth is the other yellow shirt, with Jessica Skousen by her, and Claire Edwards by me.

 Another photo from the magic show.

Poor Charlie's sick set-up today.
