Hiking Day

And he's on the ground at the end....but we finished!

Christmas Day 2013

We started early Christmas day but it always ends quick!  I tried to capture the surprised faces - my favorite part.

 

And it's all over.....

Monkey Bread

 

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas eve evening opening a few gifts (pajamas and board games), going to the Christmas eve service and driving to see the lights.

Cookies and Ice Skating

We spent the days prior to Christmas baking cookies and got to take a quick trip to the ice rink.  It had been awhile since we went skating and we all had to get readjusted.  A fun thing to do before Christmas

Christmas Tree

We got our tree up awhile ago and I got a few photos to share.

Look quick:  One of Ethan before he left!

Cameron's Wins 3rd!

Cameron and his team won 3rd place within their age bracket in our region!  In January, we will start play-offs.  Congratulations, Cam!

Operation Christmas Child

Ashton and I filled a shoebox with toys and personal items that will be sent to a child overseas in need.  Our church sponsors it and we had fun filling it!

A note he included in the box

The collection site at church.  I'm assuming the boxes in the back are
filled with even more filled shoeboxes.
