December Date!

December was the month of Dates. Randy and Natalie went on a lot of holiday dates, which was so much fun! Mom also got some fun time with Seth on a mom and son date. There were plenty of family activities, too. December is always packed full, but we had a blast! It was a good warm-up for 2025!

Christmas Cruise Date

Dax did a stem fair project about the effects of music on egg laying and he won First Place at the school!

Live Nativity date

We volunteered at the Alpine Nativity again this year and it was awesome.

This is one of our favorite nativities.

The boys and Mom were donkey keepers.

Dad was a wiseman again.

A nice lady took our picture!

Date for the wagon ride through Christmas lights.

The carriage ride is a fun adventure!

We walked around the Riverwoods.

The light display was top notch.

Orem City lights were pretty in the park.

One day, Mom checked Seth out from school and took him to the Discovery Gateway museum and the Zoo. It was such a fun day spending time just the two of us. We even got to see the snow leopard cubs, which we really wanted to!

New exhibit at Discovery Gateway.

We always take a picture on this horse.

Seth is a crazy driver!

We checked out the new Utah exhibit at the zoo. Can you spot the bobcat?

It is a nice area.

Mom even got her pretty picture taken.

The snow leopards were in the background laying down.

They did eventually get up and move around.

Seth always wants to ride the carousel.

We had such a fun day!

Mom went to make a collaborative artwork with some other Instagram people.

This is the piece she created on her own.

Another live nativity, but this time square donuts.

We went to the Aviary to enjoy the LightWalk display.

The lights here are awesome!

We love this tunnel!

Mom and Dad stopped to check out some lights we spotted on the way home.

They had a nice little display.

We played a game at Immersive Gamebox.

We had the highest score!

Seth's piano recital! He nailed it!

Lots of kids playing spoons at our house!

Seth and Mom visited the new playground at Thanksgiving Point.

Seth is the best helper!

Back at the zoo for ZooLights,  this time with the Webbs, who moved into our neighborhood..

We have enjoyed having the cousins close.

Mel and Mom love the extra time together. 

Mom helped at Seth's Christmas party, and they made blankets.

We love that Mark and his friends go to the temple often.

Last holiday date to make stained glass ornaments and it was amazing.

We had a great time at the Ockey Family Christmas Party.

It was fun to have Santa and Grandpa at the party.

Kori had fun with Randy!

We also celebrated Winter Festival with Melanie and her family.

We lit our wishes on fire.

Watching them burn was super fun, but the yule log cake was the best!

Happy Christmas Sunday!

2024 was a great year!

So fun to have Melanie at church with Mom.

Laurie and Glen made fun games with the 3D printer for the boys for Christmas.

We had the Alders and the Webbs over for New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year!!
