Happy New Year!

We have had a great New Year.  We made it through Christmas and New Year's Eve with everyone being healthy and able to make it to family parties.  Amazing.    I feel so blessed and grateful when we are well.  There is a huge difference on the days that Ammon feels good.  It's like when your baby sleeps through the night for the first time.  You don't even know what to do the next day because you have energy and time to be normal again.  Ammon even went to school for two days and life seemed so good.  Then everyone got sniffles and coughs, but nothing more severe.  I am hopeful the trend continues the next few days and weeks.  Well here are some pictures to sum up some of the things we did in December.

A few days before Christmas, Ammon got the best present of all... a manila envelope full of get well/ Christmas cards from the Alpine Seminary Students.  They don't even know Ammon.  It truly was an envelope filled with love.  It came at the perfect time.  Ammon had a rough month all the way up to Christmas.

Brynn started dance class a few months ago and had her first recital.  She was so excited to wear make up for the dress rehearsal.

She danced to "The Little Drummer Boy"  (second over from the right)

Brynn has become very fashionable.  This is how she dressed to deliver neighbor treats.  Luckily, little miss mismatched has helped our 4 year olds not be too out of style.

On the Sunday before Christmas, we got to sing for part of the Sacrament program at church and play the bells with another family.

That night we had a Fiji style dinner.

This was Brynn's favorite gift.  She has worn it everyday since, even if it is 10 degrees outside.

 Yes, Santa did bring Coleson Legos again.  He got this spider from his cousins.

At the beginning of December our sister-in-law, Feather, got married to Guillermo. We are so happy for them.  Brynn loved being a flower girl with a sparkly dress.  

We had fun taking cute pictures. 

 Ammon was still being taken care of by the wonderful nurses at Primary Children's hospital that night.  He was well enough, though, to enjoy music therapy that day.  So sweet.
