Ada's sunday school teacher always brings these fancy cupcakes. Ada asked me to take a picture of it and the little Christmas lights on it. I did and then promptly stuck my finger into it as I put my phone back in my bag. Whoops! She was very forgiving.
We went to the University Mall where they have installed some Light the World boxes this year. It was nice not to have to go to Salt Lake for it. Ada kept finding all the hats and making me take pictures of her with them. This was my favorite. The kids all decided to wear their coats backwards and zip them up. They all thought it was funny until the line would move and none of them could see where we were going.
We chose to buy some chickens and meals for the hungry. Ada went with the YW this week for their purchases. Our YW were challenged to do their Personal Progress and for every one completed they would get a dollar towards Light the World. The goal was to buy a single goat. They earned almost $400. They split into 4 groups and got to choose how to spend that $100 within their group. Ada's group bought a midwife sink in another country and suicide prevention training.
For my Mom's birthday, she asked for her brothers and sisters to get together. They haven't all been together for something like 15-20 years. I'm glad that they could all come!

The kids' school tries to be very well rounded. They push science and reading, they also have art, music and physical education both during and programs after school. This is Ada and her science buddies right before the STEM day. They designed and made lanterns out of ice. It was pretty neat. Sam's class made magnetic cars. His team's car won the class competition but got stomped on in the grade competition. Evelyn made marshmallow shooters. Seth's did balloon propelled ziplines.
