White Christmas

One of the local high schools put on a performance of White Christmas.  Mom came to go to the show with us and our church family.  TJ was supposed to join us, as was Tim, but TJ got a little stomach bug and had to stay home... I'm certain that Tim was disappointed! 

It was a fantastic show and the girls loved it! 

Great Wolf Lodge

The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to Great Wolf Lodge in Olympia.  

It is a fun indoor waterpark.

We had a blast are it was a great trip to end the long weekend.  

 The kids each got wolf ears when we checked in.  TJ, being 11 needed to act out being the wolf. 

 Part of the park is slides, another is the wave pool.  

 We all got in on the action. 

 The resort also has glow golf (mini golf in black light) and an arcade to name a few things..

ThanksGiving

 These pictures are all out of order, but you will get the general idea.  We started the day with our annual opening of the oven for our Great White Turkey.  The kids got games and a movie this year.

This was followed by our traditional breakfast of cinnamon rolls and our annual TURKEY BOWL!  The weather was crazy warm this year which made the football game super fun!  We ended the day at Bob and Velma's with an amazing dinner, a game on TV and turning on their Christmas lights.  It was a wonderful day and we could not be more thankful!

Kara and Lylah

 These two girls can't help but be best friends as their older siblings are, it is sweet to see their relationship developing.  

When siblings are at practice, playing a quick game of chess is a must!  

Avarie and Her Daddy

This man has my heart. 

This girl has his heart.

I am blessed. 

I know I am way behind...

But get ready for a massive upload...

Sometimes school is better with your sister on a blanket by the slider.  Sometimes, this is what completes my day and reminds me how worth it, it is!
