December 2 – Ward breakfast and nativity
Only Raine participated in the Primary’s nativity — Carter just wasn’t feeling it that morning. Raine chose to dress as one of the wise men “because back in those days ‘men’ meant women or men so there could have been some women who were wise men.” Since we couldn’t argue with the logic — ‘men’ is used to refer to ‘mankind’ — we just helped her find a costume!

The Wile E. Coyote roller coaster is the only one that Carter (and I) will ride so we started there before splitting up.

Raine and Daddy went on the Texas Giant! Actually, Raine tried to back out at the last minute but Daddy wouldn’t let her. She was slightly traumatized — it was a bit more thrill than she was ready for — but at least now she can say that she did it! Afterward, we met up to sled down the snow hill. (Daddy was the only one that I got a good photo of.)

December 30
Raine started (and finished) the Harry Potter series during the school holiday. She read about a book a day for the first few days!

The weather was REALLY cold so we spent a lot of lazy evenings sitting in front of the fire.
