Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas in Riverton this year and it was the first year I can remember without snow. Being on a Sunday, we just went to church and relaxed all day. Grandma and Grandpa Shelton came the next day. We went to the rec center a couple of times, played games, went shopping, and went out to eat. For New Years we went to a party at the rec center but didn't quite make it until midnight there. They had magicians, a hypnotist, clowns, bounce houses, games, and swimming. Aaron had the week off so it was great to spend time with our family.

Aubrie's 7th birthday party! She wanted to have a treasure hunt, pinata, and make bracelets. My camera was out of batteries so it's not the best picture. Friends are Gwen Mitchell, Ellie Pullan, Maddy & Stephanie Dowd, Laurel Cueller, Ava Hansen, and Sydney Nelson.

Chase and Aubrie both have a dance class at their school they attend on Thursdays. I don't think Chase loves ballroom dancing, but I think he likes the girls. :) They had a recital on Friday. They both did a great job. Aiden had basketball practice Friday and won his first game on Saturday.

Aiden had a cake auction for cub scouts. Here's the pizza cake he made. He bought his own. :)

The yearly Knights of Freedom Summit (homeschool club). It was a two-day camp with a huge battle at the end. I'm not sure if the boys are even in this picture.
