January is OVER!!

January is always a long month, but this year it seems like it lasted forrrrrrevvvvver. Even with a snow day and two "sickness" days it seems like this month was never going to end. We had a lot of great things happen though. One:

Cooper received the Aaronic priesthood and was ordained a deacon! He's passed the sacrament twice and loves it.

Looking good in that suit, isn't he?

He also, much to Amelia's dismay, grew AGAIN. He's now a full inch taller than her. She's taking it well, asking him to reach chips on top of the fridge for her, get things off the high shelf of the closet, etc. 😆

She has on  2 1/2 inch heels in this picture...and he's still gaining on her. 

Cooper has also started a ballroom class once a week after school. So far he's really liked it, and it helps keep him active during the winter. We have had a really cold one this year, and I think everyone is feeling it. Welcome February!
