So, I have this really cool deer skull above my mantel, courtesy of my great hunter of a husband. It's an awesome Halloween decoration, but it needs a little help to fit into the other holidays. Here's my Valentine's Day idea:
It's fun and it makes me happy :)
Let's see, as far as family stuff, we each got a nice bike- off-road- for Christmas. There were about 3 weeks' worth of sunny (and cold) weather with no snow, so we took a few family rides. Great bikes, and great rides, but they are now in the basement until the snow melts.
Jared is making snowshoes now:
they're a lot of work, but he's enjoying the process.
Walker's got straight A's in school. He really enjoys his science and math classes, and has challenged himself to memorize all of the elements in the periodic table.
Morgen is also well above grade level with her reading and math scores. She loves to draw, and spends more time than she should with a pencil and drawing paper in her hands.
Hyrum is enjoying math and reading. He's also making a snow fort during his recess time, and has all sorts of good structural ideas.

Love the Valentine's Day decor! I can see all kinds of things hanging from those antlers: ornaments at Christmas, beads for Mardi Gras, balloons for birthdays, easter eggs...
And MAKING snow shoes? Geez. I had no idea one could do something like that. Between you and Jared you could outfit the entire fam' and then get wherever you need to go, with a nice freshly-shot snack along the way :)
Those snow shoes are awesome!
