LOVE this little lady!

Yesterday, she went to get her MMRV booster so we can sign her up for kindergarten. She told the nurses, "I'm not scared of shots." And, she WAS so brave and cooperative. They had her count with them (brilliant move, nurses). She was so proud of herself. And she thought it was the funniest thing that there is an illness called "Chicken pox." She thought it was "Chicken Bocks". It IS funny when you think about it. I'm so proud of her & will miss spending so much time with her when she starts school.

New calling

Troy was sustained this month as the new bishop in our congregation. I think he's incredible & will do really well at it. I think it will be a great blessing and learning experience for our family. But, I also anticipate that it will be very busy (time-wise, it is like a 2nd unpaid job) and a bit of an emotional roller coaster. He'll get to help people prepare for missions and marriage, but he'll also help with funerals or other tragedy and counsel people with serious personal & family challenges. So, send a prayer our way if you can. We have had so many amazing bishops who have helped our family so much. We want to be like them & lift and serve and love well.

Snowy pictures video

Hope everyone's holidays were as memorable as ours. Happy 2017! We made a video with some fun snow pics. It's about 10 winters in 90 seconds.
