Our Christmas Vacation!

Party and Concert

Last night we had 2 important events to go to, so we divided up. Andrew went with Jessica, Parker and Zachary and they went to our ward's Christmas Party. The ward provided a nice meal, a program of the Nativity and Santa.

A good picture of the guys.

I went to Samantha's orchestra concert. She did a wonderful job. Jessica had our camera so I used my phone for this pic.

Snow is back!

The snow came back yesterday. I took a picture of it because it looked so pretty. But,




It is coming down good!



Samantha loves the snow!


It looks pretty on the lights.




Because of the snow, school is delayed for two-hours! The kids are so happy!

Footings

Here is another update of our house-

I have been worried about the tempature lately that it has been too cold. In these past few days it has been warm. So they have poured the footings. Here is what the footings are-


A footing is typically concrete and typically reinforced with steel. The footing is the bottom part of the foundation . It's the base -- sometimes called a "spread footing" because it's spread wide and it spreads the vertical loads that are coming down in the building.


I am learning new things about building a home.
