Allen Family Adventures: December 2022

For realz our kids are amazing at EVERYTHING. Give them a snow skate that they've never even seen and they'll carve out the way and show us all how its done.

Some more climbing in St. George. Mav showing us how its done on real rock and the raw fingers afterwards.

Lexi and Connor look a like Cambria

Boulderfest 2022. What an incredible comp. The energy was pretty amazing. Mav met and got helped by Nathanial Colman and Alex Johnson both of which are very successful in the climbing world. Mav is the favorite at these climbing comps because he is so smooth on the wall, fun to watch and just little. Everyone just eats him up and wants to help in his success. He even got interviewed with Kodiak Cakes which was adorable and as usual crushed it. He kept getting thrown tshirts and ended up with 7 shirts. LOL

The girls getting ready for there dance recital.

We got to enjoy some super fun activities this winter including ice skating which we didn't really get to do last year so it was fun for us. We love the Herriman ice rink.

This group of kids is my fav. Andie and Tess are best friends. Lexi and Connor are BF/GF but also best friends and the boys think he is the greatest so they all have a great time together and we sure love there parents too.

Tess has an amazing friend group and they have lots of parties and get together often. They also have awesome moms that I adore and feel very safe with them together.

One of Bodee's teamates threw the boys a Christmas party and the boys had so much fun. I love how much bonding time they are getting outside of soccer.

The day after Christmas we went down to St. George with the Cantwells and stayed at there awesome house. We had a lot of fun together for a few days. One of the days we drove to Brian Head for some skiing. It was our kids first time snowboarding (other than the boys who just barley took lessons) and they did AMAZING. Carving down the hill, going pretty fast and the boys even did some jumps. I can't believe how fast they learn. It was a pretty blistery day with tons of new powder but it was extremely cold as well. The kids were troopers though and made it all day.

We got to spend Lexi's 13th birthday there and went laser tagging and bowling. I can't believe how amazing my girl is. She is beautiful and kind and so incredibly talented.

We had lots of hot tub adventures and quick work out sessions, trips to the pet store to play with puppies.

We went climbing again and did some impossibly hard routes that none of us could do! But it was still fun to go enjoy the outdoors and the beauty there.

Christmas Eve and the day before were spent at the cabin. It was a blast playing in the snow, making gingerbread houses, doing a lipsync, white elephant and eating lots of yummy food. It was fun to be with the Lambert family. We opted to go home for Christmas morning which was really nice to be home. We spoiled the kids rotten and it was a great relaxing day.

I love Christmas morning

This girl got a gift from her boyfriend and was so excited. He got her a blanket and a beautiful ring. She is one lucky girl.

World Cup party. If you can't tell we were routing for Argentina and got the win!

End of year recital. TESS IS AMAZING. She is so cute and such a great dancer. She gives so much attitude and sass. She has such a great group of dancers and friends. Little Aria got to dance with Tess this time and it was so fun to see them dance in the same recital. She had a lot of support and we couldn't be prouder.
