Gingerbread Men











While mom and dad were here, they had some gingerbread men for the kids to decorate. (Jason was at school so he didn't get to do one.) It is always amazing to see how different they turn out.

SNOW!


Yes, we actually had snow the other morning. I told the kids they only had a couple hours to actually touch snow outside our house because it wouldn't last long. The last time I remember snow here was about 8 years ago.

Lauren's 7th Birthday











Lauren had her 7th birthday which happened to fall right on Thanksgiving this year! She actually had two birthdays- one was celebrated with Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Gordon. She is loved by so many. I love to watch her try new things and she knows what she wants and likes and is willing to work for it! She is a true sweetheart!

Christmas Choir Concert


Devon and Lexi had their Christmas concert a couple of weeks ago. We have had such fun with our co-op group learning and practicing these songs for the concert. It is a great opportunity for them to get up in front of people and perform. Devon had a couple of solo lines in "California Dreamin" and Lexi did her own solo song singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." I was so proud of them and loved being able to be the pianist for the choir. Mom and Dad surprised us by dropping in for a couple of days and were able to come see them sing. It was so fun to have them here!

Jason's B-Ball Team










Jason is on his school basketball team and has loved every minute of it!
