We made it through....

The snow piled high over winter break. It was beautiful and magical and messy and fun and slippery all at the same time.
Tanner missed his very first orchestra performance because he was sick!! Luckily, they played for a school assembly later on and he could participate then. He did a great job.
Dallan had his very first concert as well. I know I blogged this earlier, but I am just so proud of him for stepping out of his comfort zone.
As mentioned, we've been fighting illness for the past 7 or 8 weeks. This is just a small representation of daily life with the Endicotts over the holidays.
Ashly had a glorious Christmas concert as well. This picture was taken afterwards with her bff.
Hallie also had a choir concert! I was home sick and with sick kids, but Brian recorded the whole thing for me. She is so beautiful and did a great job.
Hallie also got an academic achievement award at school. Yay!! We are so proud of her.
Christmas was wonderful for our family this year. My heart was just so full of love and appreciation for my family and friends. I just kept thinking over and over how blessed we are!! I am so grateful for my Savior, His life, His love and His mercy. He is truly our greatest gift.

This is Brian's birthday. In our family we do "which hand". Here the kids are each hiding a gift behind their back and Brian is choosing "which hand" the gift might be in. Tanner is backwards because he just couldn't manage to hold the cake behind his back without dropping it!
This is Hallie's 10th birthday and "which hand" as previously explained.
This is just something that makes me happy. Yes, boys can clean a toilet. (Notice he is not too happy about it)

I am relieved that things will slow down a little bit for awhile. We had a great season and look forward to what the future will bring us.
