Misc Christmas 2024

 

Seth goes out and brings in the cats from the outside cat patio almost every day. They let him carry them just like this until they get inside and then they struggle to get down and run off to groom themselves.  It's very funny.

The kid's HS was on the news.  Sam was actually in the video twice playing in the Jazz Band.  

Sam working on his piccolo piece for April.

Sam "studying" for drivers ed.  He's fell asleep and it was really cute.  He's finished his course and only has one more drive with the instructor, the proctored test, the drivers test and then his practice hours. 

Seth makes a good napping buddy.

We got to the Giving Machines and Ada noticed that her and Grandma were matching.  So we got twinner pictures.





We got to go to Camila's bday party.  It was fun to see her in her home environment and see how she's growing.  A Cabo Verde birthday is very similar to a latin american one.  Lots of rice, picture in front of the birthday wall and cake.  Such a sweet heart.

Jer got a shed put up in our backyard.  The kids helped build out the shelves for it.  I'm so proud of them.


Sylphrena loves to watch Evelyn's fish, Senor Pescado.   Unfortunately, he died.  She then got a Betta named, Mustard.  He died in just a couple of days so we gave it one last attempt.  Evelyn has a blue Betta named Mayo.  Syl still loves to watch him and meows at anyone until they open the door to let her in to watch the fish.

Jer was able to take the kids up to go ice skating with Amy's family on their day off from work/school.  I had daycare, but they brought me pictures.


Grandma and Grandpa were able to spend Christmas with Margaret.  I'm glad she's doing well and has been able to get set up with what she needs.

We were able to celebrate the adoption of cousin, Josie into the family.  I can't wait to meet her.

The Lindon temple is almost done.  It's beautiful.

Jer's pictures

Here are some of Jer's pictures.











I thought this was funny.... We spent 1,500 on a meal.  It looks bigger than it was.

These are mostly from my brother's phone... with a couple of Jer's phone pictures sprinkled in.

Tajim (I've forgotten the spelling) but a lot of their cooking is done in these pots.... like a ceramic pressure cooker.
























Seth's puzzle box that he begged for...

Rhees Family

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
