Canada Food Tour 2024

 We went up to Canada for Thanksgiving this year. We had to be back for a Hockey game Saturday night so we couldn't do the whole thing with the Chan's so we went early. Thanksgiving day was sunny and beautiful so we rented bikes and rode around Vancouver. We had Indian, Chinese, Japanese and American food. It was so all so good and we ate a lot of it. Another successful trip.

Christmas Painting

This year we painted on Christmas Day. Cannon graduated from BYU-I in December and has moved back to work at Amazon starting in January. Miya was in Boise for Christmas this year, but Ciara came over and painted with us. The theme for this year was "things you find in the garden". I, of course, was the best at it...never! I did however participate and that is worth something. It is always fun to see how talented my family is each year.

No Rain

 
 No rain on New Year's Day so we got out and went for a walk at Point Ruston. It is always so nice to have the sun out in the winter. 

Rewards

Nona asked if she could earn a trip to Catapult at the Lakewood Towne Center if she read 15 chapter books. I had to approve the books so they weren't super easy and she tracked them all and finished in time for a trip over Christmas break. She had a great time playing and was super sweaty by the time we left.
