The Spark Family: December 2016

Snow Days!

We got hit by a blizzard that dumped over 16 inches of snow over the course of 3 days. The boys were home from school on Tuesday and Wednesday and had SO MUCH FUN playing outside!

We played over at Tyson's house for a couple of hours. Ava had fun with Taryn.

Thankfully Tim was in town and operated the snow blower for countless hours.

When we were inside the boys found lots to do to entertain themselves:)

But the definitely preferred to be outside:)

Mimi and Gramps Come to Town

Being that we didn't come down for Thanksgiving and hadn't seen them in a while, Mimi and Gramps made the long trek up to GF.

When they arrived, we realized that Gramps and I were reading the SAME BOOK!

Lots of quality time reading and hanging out.

When the kids went to bed we played Code Names!

Gingerbread house making with Mimi! Mimes had a bunch of crafts for the boys to do!

UND Women's Bball Game!!

Gramps and I took the boys to a game. The girls came from behind and won a great game against San Fransisco. Cros was a little tired but they all enjoyed it and got to say hi to some players after the game!

Bible story with Gramps. Ava was needing big time attention all weekend but overall it was a great visit!!

Thanksgiving in Grand Forks

When we started talking about Thanksgiving weekend, Tim said he didn't want to drive anywhere and I said I had no energy to host. Sooooo, we stayed in Grand Forks and were planning on just doing a casual dinner with the 6 of us. Some friends from church, Erin and Dan Quinlan invited us over for dinner so we ended up getting a full feast and enjoying some friends!
