A week filled with “multiple versions”. Starting with Aslan masks from our Chronicles of Narnia studies:

The lionesses:

And Katey-Lion is all her glory:

Thankful to have help from our oldest boys for the Thanksgiving pies. Caramel Pecan Pumpkin and Lemon Meringue with graham cracker crust. Meringue pie – and hair! 😉 As well as multiple paper airplanes from Katey for her invented game:

Gorgeous snow in the mountains and only one version of our favorite Subway sandwich Christmas-tree cutting tradition. Oven Roasted Chicken with bacon and *lots* of veggies – on Italian Herb and Cheese bread. The cookie can vary though – White Chocolate Macademia Nut, Sugar Cookies and Raspberry Cheesecake topping the list. 😉

And one happy p.s.: So thankful that when Andrew’s cable for his receiver stopped working we were able to use the juice box earned as a home office challenge prize from Usborne to re-charge it. Lifesaver!

Hyrum’s set-up for hours of enjoyment:

One car, one train set piece and one orange…

And then there was no orange. 😉

Storytime with Daddy is the best! It started out with this story…

And then quickly others gathered around to hear a couple of new Christmas-y stories.

Little, insistent hands crack me up. This way Daddy! 🙂

A little directing of the music from Meri.

And then all snuggling in to enjoy. 🙂

I cannot get enough of this mini photo-shoot with Meri. We had so much fun! Her loving on the first snow of the season – and perhaps posing just a tad. 😉

Here’s the up-close photo of the parts for the Primary Program too. 🙂

Such a wonderful week full of reminders that Someone is looking out for us, knows us and loves us!
