We, of course, were headed to the cheese factory where we got lots of curds and other cheeses.
Took the kids ice skating at Station Park, but the ice was really rough and not fun at all. Got our money back after just a few minutes and headed home to watch a movie instead.
Tammy sent me this cute picture she got of Lana and Larry.
On the 3rd we went to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Christian saw a cool trick on Outrageous Acts of Science on January 4th and decided he just had to replicate it. You balance two forks on a toothpick on a drinking glass. Then you light the toothpick on fire from the end inside the glass. It burns all the way to the edge, then goes out and the forks are still balancing on the tiny piece of toothpick barely touching the glass! Bud caught the whole thing on video with his phone and posted it to Facebook.
I had a tooth start hurting over the weekend, but by the morning of the 9th I was in extreme pain. Got into an Endodontist and had to have an emergency root canal. My sweet visiting teacher heard about it later that day (because her daughter is Christian's piano teacher) and brought me flowers!
I know I take a bunch of photos of Skittles snuggling with her dad, but I just think it's so dang cute! Here she is on the 11th welcoming him home from work.
On the 14th we took the kids to Boondock's for some fun (or, from my view, torture).
Bowling is fun, though!
We used gift cards to eat out at Texas Road House that night.
The 16th was MLK day and we had a peace-loving breakfast.
The kids loved the chicken and waffle sliders so much last year that we had the same lunch again! (Fried okra-not as much of a hit)
We also watched the movie Hidden Figures about how African American women did so much important work with the space program helping to get us to the moon. We LOVED it!
Faith started feeling a bit better and attending some school. On the 19th she got 100% on this!
On the 21st I got a new filter app and took this glamour shot of the kids on the way to Buddy's ballroom dancing competition in Provo. It was snowy and a pretty tough commute!
He did such a great job! I videoed each of his dances and posted them.
Afterward, we ate at the Provo Tucanos,
and got caramel apples at the shop nearby.
On the 22nd Tony tried out the Christmas gift he got himself--a monster deep fryer! Now he can do a ton of hot wings at once.
It was super snowy that day.
On the 24th Bud designed
and built a marble maze to pass off a badge for cub scouts.
Here are the cute photo Christmas cards we received plus some darling cards from the twins in Tony's primary class.
Things in government continue to irk me. This tickled my funny bone:
My cute SkittleBug was placed here by her Buddy, so she watched me a bit while I worked.
And this totally reminded me of my Baby Faith:
