We kicked off December with Blake’s birthday and our sweet old neighbor girls brought him a gift. He had a backyard movie night birthday party with a bunch of friends. I helped in the kindergarten STEM lab a few times a month. There were lots of high-tech activities to…
The boys were pretty excited to have their cousin Ollie join us for dinner on Main Street and a walk along the Poison Creek Trail in Park City. We discovered the fun trail and geometric wall two years ago and decided it was a must to hit up again. Another…
