The Weekend Bonfire

First Day Hike at Ivy Creek
New Years Bonfire with the Spencers
(A new tradition! It started out as a "winter picnic" with tinfoil dinners, but it wasn't long before we wanted a big hot bonfire. The wood dried out just in time to catch fire and warm us up.)
Hongs over for a day of play and a projects
Mile...Mile & A Half: a new favorite film
(The most beautiful footage of California's High Sierras I have ever seen with quotes from everybody's favorite naturalist, John Muir.
But be warned, they don't have clean language near the middle.)
Slow Sabbath morning
1:30 start time for church
Great testimonies shared on new beginnings, roses that are trying to bloom in the winter, and reading the Book of Mormon with a new brain.
Only four kids in nursery for me
New teachers for our kids
Minestrone/lasagna dinner with friends
2 Nephi 9 at bedtime
