| Can you spot the temple? |

| One of the places where the golden plates were hidden. Sitting on the original bricks! |
Random Pics at Grandma and Grandpa's House
 |
| The girls had fun running around with friends. This one was taken after Sunday dinner. |
 |
| Lucky us, there was plenty of snow. The girls were excited! |
 |
| The girls had fun making fairy houses, thanks to Grandma Heidi. |
 |
| We got to hang out with Sarah's Uncle Seth and family for a couple of days. The girls loved playing with eight-year-old Pip! |

Aunt Sarah's Harry Potter Birthday Party
 |
| The was a sorting ceremony. Inside the cupcakes were M&Ms colored to match the different houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. |
 |
| There was a scavenger hunt, and everyone got a unique wand. |
 |
| There were all kinds of sweets, including chocolate frogs--complete with collectible wizard cards. |
 |
| There were even Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans. |
 |
| I think it's safe to say that Sarah had a great 26th birthday. :) |
Airplane Ride
 |
| The secret to our success in traveling with 4 little kids... lots of tablets and smartphones! |
 |
| Owen was really excited to get to ride a plane. (He's been on a plane before, but it's been a while.) He counted down: "3-2-1... Blast off!" and then "We have lift off!" (I think he learned it from Nature Cat.) |
 |
| As soon as we landed in Pittsburgh, Owen announced, "It's Christmas!" It was his first time seeing snow in two-plus years. |

Birthday Party at Chuck E. Cheese
Alex's sister (our friend that stayed with us for two months at the beginning of the school year) had a birthday party today, and we got an invite:
 |
| The girls went a little wild on the arcade games. |
Windermere Park and McMurtrie Farms
Normally we would have gone to crafternoon, but the weather was so nice that we decided to do something outdoors instead. This park is just a half mile from our house. It's kind of fun to see a bunch of goats and chickens in our suburban neighborhood.
Random Pictures
The kids' favorite thing to do when they find my phone is to go around snapping pictures. (I delete dozens of pictures every week.) These were the best pics of the last week:
 |
| Story of my life. This kid is always underfoot. His favorite thing is to climb into the dishwasher. But he likes the fridge too. |
 |
| Not a selfie. |
 |
| Our little bookworm. |

9 Months Old
This kid turned 9 months old about 2 weeks ago. He has six teeth, is a great crawler, likes to pull himself up on furniture, loves to pull books off the shelves, and will put anything in his mouth that he can get his hands on. (The only safe places in the house are his playpen and his crib, which he hates.) He had his well check up yesterday, and he is in the 2nd percentile for weight and the 71st percentile for height.

| I took this one at Lego Lab this week. The library has four WeDo 2.0 sets, and the girls can create their own robot (Milo) and then program it using code to do certain tasks. I love all the cool STEM toys that they make nowadays. One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a Snap Circuit set for the girls, which teaches them about electricity. So cool! |
 |
| I took this one a while back. They had matching jammies on, although totally by chance. |
