Sabrina learns a new trick

Creations

Leslie displays her latest incarnation of a fairy mermaid princess.

Farmer Larsons' Crop



Here is 2008's entire yield from the backyard--grapefruits, tangerines, and little green things that froze while we were in Utah for Christmas or were ripped from the plants by enthusiastic children. We are quite proud of ourselves and hope for bigger and better things next year.

Singing in the rain

Leslie went out in the rain, so Sabrina opened the window to let her in.

The type of parents we are

It's afternoon, and where are the children? Yes, they are in pajamas on the recliners eating ice cream and yes, they are watching a movie. :)

Is it just me?


Does Noah bear a striking resemblance to Alan Rickman?

Bundle of Babies

Noah, Aria and Adam at Christmas

Courage

How many people are brave enough to change the baby's diaper on their laps I ask you? We're quite impressed, especially after Aria's bid to get away.

Larson sisters at Christmas


We loved staying at the Larsons for Christmas this year.

Ethan Frome or Olympics 2020?

Merry Christmas

(As the camera won't download the more recent photos from this month, I'm posting old Christmas ones. I sure wish I could rotate pictures.)

The Hobbit takes on Sauron

Hard Times

Given a pile of blocks, Leslie builds a lovely stable with Mary and Joseph. Travis creates the dark tower of the evil Sauron. There's a reason these two give each other a hard time!

Two Larsons

Cousins set a good example

When I came downstairs to put Leslie to bed New Years Eve, I found Hannah had rounded up Leslie and Ashley and was reading to them from the New Testament. Hannah, we're proud to know you!

Sledding

Graham helped us reverse-shovel snow back onto the field so we could sled down the hill in Bill & Robin's backyard.

Some of Our Favorites



My seminary teacher told us we shouldn't have favorites among the leaders of the church, but I did anyway. Conference will not be the same without challenges to duels, and sudden surprised laughter. And we miss having such a wonderful Democrat to look up to. It's hard to to have our two favorites leave in one year, but we are grateful for the new strong leaders who will move the church forward.

Leslie and Sabrina on their new trampoline

We just got back from Utah and setup the trampoline, here's a video of the kids on it.
