Brian:  I helped put together packages of leftover food after our ward Christmas party.  I'm taking this container to a family in our ward.  

Kathy:  I snuck away from decorating our church for our ward Christmas party to go cross country skiing for an hour!

Ty:  I've been using spin class to stay in biking shape while the roads are too slippery.  I meant to take a picture of me--but forgot.  But here's my bike settings!

Michelle:  Apparently all our play room needed was some rugs we found rolled up in the garage attic and an art desk.  And now the kids actually play up there.

Afton:  I can't sleep and (because?) I want to know what happens next to Henry Huggins.

Eliza:  I'll be honest, Dad comes up with and executes the best hair styles.

Kathryn:  I love helping in the kitchen, especially when I get to flip the pancakes.

Calvin:  I can play with the presents, as long as I don't rip off the paper.

Josh:  Selfies with my girls!

Elizabeth:  We were so busy getting ready to leave, I forgot to take a picture of myself yesterday.  But we made it on the airplane early this morning and had an easy flight to Utah!

Layla:  I always want to lay by my little sister.

Ellie:  I just woke up from a great nap!

Joseph:  Enjoying being fully settled in our new apartment.

Jayna:  I got some new cozy slipper socks from one of my coworkers!

Dallin:  Just finishing up finals and papers.

Brian:  I'm thankful to be holding baby Ellie on my tummy.

Kathy:  I'm grateful I got to make a turkey hat with Layla.

Brian:  Since Mom left me alone, I went to the temple after work.

Kathy:  I'm really enjoying spending some time with my dad in Utah.  I came so my mom could get away for a few days with Krissy to St. George.

Ty:  "Can't get the remote" is much better than watching TV.

Michelle:  My view after picking up Afton from school.

Afton:  When Mom left the dinner table to bathe Calvin, she told Eliza and I (Dad and Kathryn weren’t home) to pretend to be waitresses. When she came back, she discovered that we were also the bussers, the dishwashers, and the custodians. She was so surprised and grateful! 

Eliza:  When Mom left the dinner table to bathe Calvin, she told Afton and I (Dad and Kathryn weren’t home) to pretend to be waitresses. When she came back, she discovered that we were also the bussers, the dishwashers, and the custodians. She was so surprised and grateful! 

Kathryn:  Donos!!!

Calvin:  I am now a social eater. If someone else is eating, I want some. Mom has tried to give me bananas several times with no success. But today when she was eating one, I approached and squawked at her, and ate a quarter of it before it was all gone. 

Josh:  Flynn and Rapunzel in the tower.

Elizabeth:  Thursday night football.  Go Broncos!

Layla:  I got to color a leaf and stick it in the tree at the library.

Joseph:  Dozing off as I study at work late at night.

Jayna:  Enjoying a yummy dinner at Zupas with Grandpa!

Dallin:  Look how many miles I hit!

Courtney:  I started reading a book after work, next thing I knew I was waking up at 8:30 p.m.  I'm confused--but luckily I woke up in time to meet the 18th picture deadline, just in time!

Brian:  Preparing my high council sacrament meeting talk for Sunday.

Ty:  Kathryn hit her head on the ceiling.

Michelle:  Getting ready for Eliza's royal birthday party!

Afton:  I hurt my foot, so I made a paper towel and tape case and hopped around on my other foot. (Michelle side note: I have a feeling I am going to be mocked for this more than Afton is.)

Eliza:  Making French bread with Dad.

Kathryn:  I like dancing or exercising or stretching with one of my best friends, Aaliyah. 

Calvin:  I love standing up using a chair for support. I also love eating cereal. 

Josh:  My super strong arms holding up Layla to pick an apple.

Elizabeth:  Just modeling my baby bump by the pond.
