Fun with Friends - 12/22/2020 & 12/23/2020

Reagan and Cole each had fun plans with friends today. Cole invited the Etherington kiddos and Scotty Pepper to join him at Airborne. That's always a favorite of ours.

These kiddos jumped and played and swung and climbed and had a great time!

This really is SUCH a fun place. The kiddos can go at their own pace, do what tricks they want and hang with their friends.

Meanwhile, Reagan had her friends (twins Natalie and Noah) over to hang out at our house. These three are so much fun together! 

They sang karaoke, ate, watched a movie and just got caught up with each other. Since they no longer go to the same school, they fit in their visits here and there on school breaks or during the summer.

Later that night, Cole headed to Highland to have a Christmas party with his cousin, Drew.

The next day was Reagan's bestie Sophia's birthday. They are extremely concerned about Covid, so, they just had a birthday drive-by party. Sophia loves the actor Tom Holland, so, her mom had cupcakes made up that have a picture of her and him together (can't remember where she got that pic.... comic-con?). Anyway, we said a quick Happy Birthday from a social distance and drove away. Maybe we can have a party next year. 

 

After that, we took a Christmas card to Steve's parents. They are being extremely careful also, so there will be no family gathering at their house on Christmas Day. It's so sad. We didn't go in. We just met his mom at the door, she wore a mask, we gave her the card and we were on our way. Did I mention that I hate Covid?

After running our errands, we met our new neighbor Ashley and her mom at Momentum Climbing. She is a climber and wanted to introduce Reagan and Cole to the sport.

While I'm sure Ashley had Reagan and Cole safely belayed, I have to be honest that it scared me to see them so high up there.

They climbed with the belay, they climbed without the belay and they had a great time. Ashley's mom (Julie) and I chatted while they climbed.

Our friends Kim and Dave Hoopes from our old ward stopped by with some Christmas treats and it was great to chat with them.

Different kiddos with different friends on different schedules made for crazy, hectic days for us parents, but we've got this. It's Christmas break and we want to see our friends!!!!!

Christmas is Almost Here!!!!!!
