Levi turned 16 and tried to get his license and his first date on the same day. Neither worked out, but he was able to do both very soon after his birthday. 

For his birthday he got a bike rack to put on the car so he can do what he’s always dreamed of doing-drive himself to the foothills and bike.

Liberty sang in a duet for her Christmas concert this year. She and her good friend did a great job!!!

Libby also had a piano recital, but the video I took was terrible so I will just have to tell you that she did an awesome job playing Charlie Brown’s Christmas theme song and she got the loudest and most vociferous applause. A neighbor told me she stole the show. 

Liberty’s closest friends are two sisters; one just younger than Libby and one just older. They come from a large family with lots of younger siblings. Libby has become like a member of their family and the littles in the family adore her. I’m so grateful for this sweet family that has given Libby sisters and little siblings. They had us over to decorate gingerbread houses this year and here are the results.

On Christmas Eve, Levi and his good friend dressed almost identically for church. It was not planned, but I wanted to show that these two cross country stars clean up nice. Levi can’t resist the GQ look these days.
