This week has been very busy but a lot of fun. Here are a few highlights:

We had our first snow and then a few days later it was so warm the kids built a sand castle.

Hailey turned in her second quarter book report and project. Whoever thought apple head dolls were a good idea obviously never had children.

Grandma W. came to visit. She taught H. how to make her very yummy lemon squares. Her's taste so much better than mine, I had to take a peek at what they were doing while working together. Hailey is dressed like a pioneer just because she loves pioneer clothes. But that's actually a dress I wore in the late 70's. I loved it. She thinks it is a pioneer dress.

We went to see the play "The Christmas Shoes" which was put on by our stake. It was a tear jerker but it was fun to get an early start on the Christmas spirit.

Later that night Nate and Nolan had a burping contest while we ate lemon squares. Nate won for quantity and Nolan for quality. Pretty gross, but the smile on Nate's face each time his was able to squeeze out even the tiniest burp made us all laugh.
