Winter is back

Matt is away in Southern Utah (no where near Orem) until tomorrow night, but Elias and I are at home enjoying the snow and then running back inside to get warm.

Here is a picture of Elias with his new favorite hat. He needs a haircut, but wouldn't let them do it the last time we tried, so he has decided to just hide it under a hat.

Get Well Aunt Crystal

Here is Elias working on a special message for Aunt Crystal.

It is a very important message.

I love you, Aunt Crystal!

Crystal underwent heart surgery yesterday, but she is now home and doing great!

New Chair

Elias got a new chair today from his Grandparents Miller. He loves it.
Finally, something in his size!
