Bethany went back to her classes this week! She gave it a try and it was hard and she was scared but she faced it! And she was successful. It is a really big accomplishment. So next week we will see if she can do it again as well as add in some homework/make-up work in the evenings. She still needs her recovery and downtime. I'm impressed she's making progress on school, though.

Beth and Ben both went to the church youth activity this week which was a Where's Waldo activity at the mall. They had great fun.

Benjamin had guitar this week, but he didn't have any other activities. Kevin and I and Beth and Ben went to the temple on Friday and did baptisms. Afterward, we went to Chom burger. On Saturday night, Ben's friend, Kyler, came over. They tried to do a speed run of Minecraft but were unsuccessful. They say they will try again.

Savannah had her last week off of work. She's almost done moving her stuff into another room downstairs in preparation for the twins coming home from their missions. She got a new dresser and is reorganizing and setting everything up.

Kevin had a hard week health wise. He went to a doctor but didn't get much in the way of answers. He is thinking of going back to a chiropractic doctor since that is when he's gotten the most relief in the past. Hopefully he will get some relief soon.

I did homework this week and Christmas shopping. On Saturday, our kids wanted to go to the dollar store together because that was how we did the Christmas shopping when they were younger! It was super fun to be together and we saw some of the same excitement we saw when they were kids and shopping for each other. Which is funny because the dollar store is totally within their budgets now at any time. I'm glad they still get excited about giving each other things! It was a fun, Christmas activity.
