Christmas 2021



A lot of pictures to go through here! I've been putting this off because it's so frustrating to try to organize them, but I promised myself I'd do it today.

Abigail got her booster...and a 35 on the ACT! First try, way to go kiddo!!


We got a very exciting early Christmas present!


We made lots of goodies throughout December...trying to fit in all the traditional stuff. Here's Isaac with some fudge. 



Tried to fit in the traditional movies too but we were just so crazy busy! We got in a couple though. 

Abigail went to a Purdue game with her friend & discovered she actually likes basketball. 



We went to Luke's Famous Americans Wax Museum (he was Thomas Edison) 



And his Christmas concert for Orff Ensemble. 




My grandma sent us four puzzles and we had such a good time doing them together. 


Went to our friends' annual White Elephant party (scaled down but so fun to pick up the tradition again after skipping it last year!). 



We went to the zoo a few days before Christmas with friends and it was so fun!


We spent Christmas Eve with our dear friends and had such a good time! (Started early so we could go to bed early and of course ended up staying way too late so all of us were hammered on Christmas Day, haha.)






A couple days before Christmas the older three kids and I served in the bishop's storehouse, which was a wonderful experience (we've all gone there separately but this is the first time it worked out so I could go with the kids). 





Made our traditional Yule Log cake: 



One night I made a killer salad that was SO good I apparently needed to take a picture of it.




I was also really into this kale salad and made it probably ten times during the holidays. 


Love our beautiful downtown!





Also did SO MANY Peloton holiday classes in my self-made challenge to do all the 2021 and 2020 holiday classes (cycling, running, yoga, walking, strength, bootcamp, stretching, meditation, cardio). 



And then it was finally Christmas Day!













This year's Christmas Day puzzle was a lovely one that we chose because our big gift to each other was a ski trip to Vail a few weeks later. 


And happy anniversary to us on the 26th--19 years! This photo is from our honeymoon sleigh ride through the elk refuge in Jackson Hole.
