Christmas morning was wonderful! Deanna didn't walk out of her room until 9:30am. I on the other hand woke up at 7:30am and just stared at the ceiling. I kept thinking, "what is my deal? " There was no need to wake up so early. I still get excited, I guess.

Four days before Christmas, we went ice skating. It was so cold. About 30 degrees. The kids had so much fun while I watched and took pictures. It got so cold that I ran to a restaurant next to the rink and got fancy hot chocolate for everyone. By the time we left, we were all frozen. I think my knee caps and nose were included.

Alexis was in her Christmas Performance at Choir. They performed in the high school theatre. Very cool.....

Had to add more pictures from Thanksgiving!! Had so much fun!

We had the opportunity to go spend Thanksgiving with Matt, Jenny, and Lucas. Grandma and Grandpa came to stay with them too. Chad and Liam came down to visit on Friday. We had so much fun from the Zoo, to Black Friday Shopping, to hanging out at the park. What a special time!!
