Monday, January 18 - Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the kids have school tomorrow off for the end of the quarter so we decided to go on a little getaway. We went up to Midway to stay at the Zermatt Hotel. The kids had a blast swimming and playing in the hotel room. (The adjoining room door got left open so we kept sneaking over into that room and messing around. They thought it was the best thing ever!) We took a break from swimming and went into Heber to eat at The Dairy Keen. It was super yummy!
Tuesday, January 19 - We got up at the hotel and went swimming again for another hour or so. Then we showered and blew hair dry (because we were going to be outside in the cold and couldn't have wet hair) and got ready to check out. We went to Soldier Hollow to go tubing. It was super fun! We were the first group to go for the day so it was really icy and therefore really slick and fast. I felt terrible when I forced Ricki to go down the hill and it was crazy insane and scary! She screamed in terror all the way down the hill and then would not go again no matter what I did! I felt so bad!! It really was scary though! The other kids had fun and Simon and I just took turns going down with them. Ricki found a fun activity by running and jumping in the tube and sliding across a flat surface. Haha, glad she found something to pass the two hours! :) What a fun getaway!
Wednesday, January 20 - We have another brace-face in the family! Kendra got her braces on first thing this morning! She's in for a few days of soreness but we're excited for her to get going and get a new beautiful smile. :)
Thursday, January 21 - Yesterday was our new president, Joe Biden's, Inauguration Address. It was fine. Not great, not bad. Just...fine. However, the great unifier in all of the day was Bernie Sanders. He sat amongst giants of the country in a puffy coat, mittens, disposable mask, all by himself, and basically didn't talk to anyone. In 24-hours, he has created the very best memes I've ever seen! So funny they have reduced me to tears!! I just wanted to put ole Bernie on here because I have a feeling this image is going to circulate around for a while!
Friday, January 22 - Brielle wanted to have a sleepover with Kendra and Halle wanted one with Zack so we did a little swap-a-roo for tonight. We also had Kayla for a couple of hours too so we had a fun evening! We love these kiddos!!
Saturday, January 23 - Ricki's bestie dropped off a Christmas gift today. She's the best!! It's a fun light box that you can draw on. She was so excited! It was perfect because I was busy all day at our semi-annual warehouse sale. The morning hours were SO busy! There were people in and out all morning! Tonight was much slower, which was good because my girls came with Kendra's friend Adrianna and shopped their little hearts out. After we closed up shop, Liz wanted to go get some ice cream so we headed out to Leatherby's. I shouldn't have but I got a big brownie ice cream and ate it all. Yum!
Sunday, January 24 - I told you Bernie would show up again! This is Simon on his Elder's Quorum Zoom call this morning! Haha! Tonight after dinner, the girls wanted to make cake pops (or cake bombs as Nick called them). Luckily, I had some frozen cake tops from the last cake I made in the freezer so we pulled them out and made them. They had a blast and it was actually really easy to do! Hooray for fun Sundays in!
