Today we had our Stake Youth Theme Fireside and Brittany was asked to lead the music for the event.  She was pretty nervous but she did a great job!  She was so cute up there leading and smiling!  🙂  The theme for this year’s youth is “Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations.”  There is a whole bunch of cool on-line content that goes with it.  Check it out!  https://www.lds.org/youth/theme/2012?lang=eng.

There is also a new For the Strength of Youth pamphlet coming out and the on-line material is great as well:  https://www.lds.org/youth/for-the-strength-of-youth?lang=eng.  This site has some great resources for both parents and youth!

Yesterday we took advantage of the big snow storm and while Brittany and Sarah were otherwise engaged, Angela and I took the boys and Kirstyn sledding at a nearby hill.  We had a great time!

It was pretty cold so we weren’t out too long.  Kirstyn’s hands were ice cubes by the time we were done because she said he wasn’t going to sled much and brought little, thin, knit gloves.  I had to lend her my gloves so she could feel her fingers again.  🙂

After sledding, we came home and warmed up with some hot chocolate!  🙂
