Top Golf....

 

Mary and Brad's gift to our kids was a cousin outing to Top Golf. Mary was at home sick, so Brad, Mom, Mike and I took the kids. Tempers flared some but overall we had fun! 

Injectable donuts were the big hit!! 

 

 

 

Jake was there too!! I promise! He was the happiest golfer so he spent most of his time focused on making good shots!

Happy Birthday Jesus!!

We had Christmas Eve at Shirley's. I was able to get one picture before the kids changed out of church clothes!!

   

What a cute bunch of cousins!!

 

Christmas morning brought early excitement! Dana brought Amazon Dots for all 3. Football gloves for Joshua. A PS4 game for Jake. And a set of books for

Sophia. 

 

 

 

 

 

A flurry of unwrapping and this is what's leftover!!

 

 

Mary and Brad drove down and got to Mom's around lunch time. We spent the rest of the day with them...opening presents and eating a delicious Christmas dinner. 

December Highlights....

Joshua sang in the PTA program....
 

Sophia had fun making reindeer cakes for holiday events. 

 

The kids were amazing in the church Christmas program. Jake was the narrator. Sophia was Mary and had a speaking role. Joshua was Joseph and had speaking parts and a solo. I was soooo proud. They all did so well!!!

 

 

Joshua and Sophia had lots of fun at their school parties. 

 

 And before we knew it, Christmas was here!

7th Grade Basketball....

  

Basketball season is in full swing. It means early morning practices...they have to be in the gym by 6:00am 😳😳. But they love it! Jake played his first game last week and was awesome. So much more aggressive and engaged than last year when he played the YMCA league. So proud of how hard he tries!!!

Thanksgiving....

 

So many days of Thanksgiving celebrations and I get 2 pictures. Two??! 😜

Sophia made a French silk pie for the dinner at Shirley's house. 

And we spend 6 days at the ranch and had such a good time. I got one lonely picture and this is it. Clearly I need to do better next year!! 

  

Colonial America Day...

Fifth grade has an annual event when they study the Revolutionary War. And costumes is a must! Sophia loved putting this outfit together. 

 

Youth Group....

 

I'm so thankful Jake is participating in Youth Group. Though it's a small group, they do a lot of neat things. So good for him to be a part of it!!
