The Leonardo

Earlier this year Hayden won a ticket to the Leonardo.  It expired today so I took him first thing this morning. We paid extra to be able to see the Mummies exhibit while we were there. It was interesting. I thought Hayden might be grossed out by it, but my little scientist wasn't. The rest of the museum was fun too. He has added a plasma ball to his birthday list!

Sledding

We went sledding for a couple hours today with some cousins. We went to the Jordan Pines trail area up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It's about 10 miles up the canyon.

Hayden...

McKinley...

Josh would only go slow with me, until he decided to go with McKinley once. They promptly ended up in the trees where, as he describes it, he "bounced around like a coconut". He was done with sledding after that.

Merry Christmas

We woke up at 7:30 this morning (I was shooting for 8:00). Opened presents, watched a DVD (Inside Out), played with toys/legos, and lounged around.

In the evening we got dressed and went to Grandma and Grandpa Van Leeuwen's  house for more presents, cousins, and food. 

Present favorites for this year:

McKinley: clothes, slippers, nail stuff, and art stuff

Sawyer: Laser tag, air glider

Hayden: helicopter, metal detector

Josh: Lightning McQueen changer, Paw Patrol figures

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

After our traditional party at Grandma and Grandpa Korths, we came home to open our Christmas jammies! The kids then had a sleepover in McKinley's room. It was a good night for us all!

Temple Square

It was a good night to go to temple square. The crowds were small and the weather was pretty warm. Once again, I forgot shoes for Josh so he was sequestered to the stroller all night.

Christmas program

Hayden had his third grade program today. So cute. He was a little toy soldier. He's not one for singing and dancing, but I've caught him a few times singing his program Christmas songs in the car.  Makes my heart squeeze!

Sinterklaas

We had to stop by the Dutch store today to grab chocolate sprinkles for our dinner tonight. Sinterklaas and his little helper Black Pete were there! Can't wait to put our shoes out to see if he visits us tonight!
