Arrow of Light

Jace had the BEST scout leaders!  They sat down with each boy when they came into their den, and asked what they wanted to accomplish.  They helped set up and plan activities to make that happen.  Jace came in in August, and by Dec 3, he had his Webelos AND his Arrow of Light!  Woot!!!  









The Holmes even made these awesome wooden boxes for each boy that earned their Arrow of Light. I think Jace was the most excited for that!

A great start to December!

We kicked off December celebrating Kaley and Izzy's birthdays at Grammie and Pop's house.  













This was a Mom-win for me!  Finally some homework I could help with!!!  Orchestra homework!!!  It was a super welcome break from the math and science homework that plaques our house!

Thanksgiving Weekend

These boys started off Thanksgiving week with double header basketball games!  They are so fun to watch!
My Sunday Primary lesson was teaching these cute kiddos a song called Thankful.  I had the kids come up and write things they were thankful for on the board during the review.  One of them wrote "Sister Cox" on the board, and my heart just about burst!  This calling is such a blessing in my life!

One of my cute 2nd graders had her family come and tell and show us about their heritage. What a cool family!
Lacie and I pulled off a sweet service project with these cute kiddos!  6th graders are pretty cool!  They tied about 20 something blankets for the hospital. 
Then it was Thanksgiving Day!!!  We drove up to Malad to be with Josh's family this year!  Josh's parents just finished a new home next door to Chalae and fam.  When we first got there, the power was out!  We were a little worried that the turkey, potatoes and everything else would not be cooked in time for dinner!  We had a Thanksgiving miracle, and it turned back on and everything turned out fine!  







We ate in the basement - it was fun to fit everyone in just right!








We stayed the night at Danielle's house on the way home, so we didn't have to leave Malad as early.  We went swimming together the next day too!  So much fun!

We drove through nearly every storm that came through Utah those 2 days!  
We watched the Light Parade from the car this year!  




Our cute thankful tree!
And a BYU game too!  A couple of kids could sit down by Pops and Grammie because it was pretty empty!
