The Frozen play

Andrew was part of the ensemble in the Frozen play at the middle school and I don't know who was more excited, him for the fun time or Millie for the fact that it was Frozen. The rehearsals took months and the week of the play he had long days. The play was well done and really fun.

The tickets sold fast, so we grabbed what we could. JB went opening night with Millie (dressed as Anna).

This was Andrew's townsperson costume for the last scene.

James got to see the play during the school day on a field trip. Then on Saturday, closing night, I took Ben, James and Millie.

We were sitting on opposite sides.

Here's the closing number with everyone together.

Here's the cast picture for Andrew on the wall.

 

Every night we read a book of Frozen short stories before Millie goes to bed. She loves it so much. 

Max did the play when he was in 7th grade, too, (it was Peter Pan, see this post) but then got too busy with basketball the next year and Ben was always too busy with basketball.

February happenings

Here's a family update for February. These pictures came up of Elder Richards in his Google photos from El Paso.

Ben went to the Sweethearts Dance in February.

Papa, Nona and Scott came to one of Ben's home games.

 Ben had his last sophomore and JV games of the season. 

I took Ben and Andrew and one of Ben's friends to the temple early before school one morning.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl on the day I was running round Maui on my last assignment and then heading to the airport. And of course Max was staying faithful and not watching the game. But we were both grateful to learn about the Chiefs' win!

JB and the kids went to dinner with the Richards that day.

JB took the kids to Crown Burger (which Millie called Burger Crown) and to Costco while I was gone. Another time we all went to Costco again for lunch.

JB and James went to the Utah Jazz game with James's Jr Jazz tickets.

James and Millie made axolotl Valentine's Day boxes for school.

We watched National Treasure for a movie night.

Millie continues to get into bed with us in the morning and take my phone for a few minutes.

JB went to 2nd grade's donuts with grownups at the school.
