Peter and Blake's Santa

This is Peter and his friend Blake. They often have late nights together. This weekend they were amazing and built me a minnion Santa. They made this one at Halloween time which I really loved.

Bethlehem

A few days ago I took the boys to the BYU museum of people and cultures. I'd heard they had an exhibit of things from Bethlehem. It was a wonderful experience with so many beautiful treasures. The museum is tiny, but they utilized the space very well. I feel like we've found a hidden gem, even though we literally were there for 15 minutes.

Time for an upgrade

For the past two years I have put "new king bed" on our December calendar. When the month rolled around though, I couldn't justify the expense. This year though, we made it a priority. I ordered from the custom built furniture shop here in Springville. It took about 8 weeks to get built and installed, but we really love it.

My main reason for getting a bigger bed was so we could all pile on the bed comfortably. The boys are getting bigger now and it was getting very squishy when we all piled on. Since we do a lot of our school work on my bed, I consider it an investment in their education. That's a funny way to see it, but that's how I feel.

I have very fond memories of gathering on my grandmothers bed when I was a little girl, and my parents bed when I was little, and not so little. Those were cherished times and I hope my boys have similar fond memories of their childhood.
