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 pouring when we got to our location, but luckily it paused enough to take some photos.

There was even a double rainbow.  The lighting for portraits was horrible that way, but the memory is fun.

 

Harry Potter 408

I made my family ignore all their responsibilities and stand in an hour long line in order to see a house that the owners had set up as a Harry Potter anniversary celebration.  The owner was saying that he was going to replace his lawn in the spring, so why not?  He had everything from a Buckbeak, train station, Ollivanders, Hagrid's hut, Gryffindor tower, etc... We had the pleasure of talking to Snape and McGonagall.  The couple right in front of us provided us with ibuprofen and a fun game of Harry Potter Head's up while waiting in line.  He was like Sam's allergy twin.  He had basically all the same allergies that Sam does and that's rare.  I think he's the first one that I've met with almost identical allergies.

 

General Conference Weekend

Ada was able to come down with us for Conference.  That was fun and the weekend went too fast.  Jer and I drove up in the morning to pick her up, then she took the train back Monday morning. We played games, listened to conference, ate food, and talked about our next events.... 

Our kids "not sleeping".  They've been running like crazy.  I reminded them a couple of times and then just let them sleep after that.  Every time you'd say their names they would all pop out with, "I'm awake!"  It was pretty funny.

Seth and Evelyn made their semi annual tents.

I'm glad these sisters have each other.  There really is nothing like having a sister.

Sam made apple pie.

Ada has shown Jer, Evelyn and I a couple of swing dance moves.  it's fun.

 

Sprinklers

We got to help put in a sprinkler line at the cabin during our last Bear Lake week of the year.  

Ada had to join in on a biology zoom meeting.... Sam and Evelyn are also both doing biology this year.... so Sam joined in.
