Wheeler/Thomas Christmas

We opened gifts with the Thomases a few days before Christmas this year. We ate some dinner together and then opened our gifts. We always love spending time with them and this time was no exception.

Rex got a little help opening his present this year. The Thomases gave him a Roarin' Rex. It's the dinosaur from Toy Story and when you squeeze it, it lets out a silly roar. Rex was a little nervous around it at first.


Clara was so excited to get a dress up Minnie. She spend a good chunk of the evening playing with it in her room.


We gave Tobin a Twilight Turtle and Julian a few 'How to Draw' books. He is becoming quite an artist.



Ben got a new running shirt, Keynan got an iTunes card, TJ got a wallet and Audra and I gave each other scarves and some other little things. TJ and Ben also surprised us with a Christmas gift from our Dad. My Dad arranged ahead of time to send some money to TJ and so we were both able to pick out gifts for our families from Grandma and Papa.

Bowling & Cub Scouts

I've been the Bear Den Leader in our ward for the past 2 years. I got released at the end of December and I wanted to do something fun for our last activity. Bowling! I let Clara bowl while we were there and she was delighted. It was her first time and I'm excited to go back as a family.
