It’s so fun to have family around to force my kids to do fun things! We did another glow in the dark Easter Egg hunt, decorated cookie, and decorated eggs. It was the best! Blake did not agree. He had a hard time finding eggs and didn’t want any help. He was mad and refused…
We tried something new this year and purchase the Adventure Advent. It’s like our Adventure Challenge, where you scratch off different activities and have to do what is underneath. It was fun to have a few new ideas thrown in the mix with our tried and true. But, before anything else, the most exciting news…

And I tricked them all this year–no one correctly guessed their wrapping paper. Santa brought Blake a Sonic Watch. Josh got…
It was just us this Christmas. But thanks to the magic of Zoom, we still had fun connecting with our family. The day started with opening cousin presents. It was late morning for us, and almost bedtime for the Schofields! I’m glad we did it this way–it was fun to see all the kids and…
With no concerts and school activities, we had a little more time to spend as a family this year. It was nice!
