Our Stay-cation and New Years Resolutions

We had a really fun week we will always remember. Here are some of our stay-cation activities:

Sunday: Family visits and a Nativity Production that I would post on here, but my kids would be so mad ;-)

Monday: Intro to the stay-cation week and Game Day

Tuesday: Sills and the Curiosity Museum

Wednesday: Hike and Movies

Thursday: Read-a-Thon (we did count the BBC Pride and Prejudice as a book... and Two Towers)

Friday: Ice Castles and hot chocolate

Saturday: More games (and the older kids went to a party).

Yep, this is the only picture someone happened to take that day.

Today: New church classes for everyone. Jess is officially out of primary and Joy is officially in. Joy had never stayed the whole time at nursery so I was so happy when she stayed in her Sunbeam class today by herself! I stayed with her through the first hour during singing time and snuck in this cute shot of her helping during the Temple song.

Now for New Years Resolutions:

I'm not very good at these, but I do want to work on these five things:

-More sincere and fervent prayers each morning 

-No refined sugars in January (and maybe longer)

-Set aside personal study time each day (besides scripture study)

-Learn a new skill with Bill

-Make and stick to a one-on-one schedule for time with each child

I love this time of year and that great feeling of a fresh start. Happy New Year everyone!
