Brian:  Going on a bike ride with my new bike!

Kathy:  One of my goals this year is to practice the piano four days each week.  I'm really enjoying it!  So I don't know why I'm not smiling.  Maybe I'm concentrating really hard!

Michelle:  I've been making masks for our Relief Society to donate.

Afton:  Floss dance off with Mom.

Eliza:  Just hanging out on the top of our tree.
