Christmas Creche

 

 

Since Hannah was sick tonight, Katie and mom bundled up and headed to the Creche exhibit being put on at the church. We had some hot chocolate to stay warm and watched a live nativity, then headed inside to see all of the nativities that had been donated. Katie had a great time taking pictures of lots of them. Then we made a trip to the store where Katie got to push the cart! Katie and I don't have lots of chances to be together one on one so it was a great night for both of us.

(Pretty decent photos for a 4 year old.)

Who doesn't like a chocolate nativity. This wouldn't last long in our house.

Sleeping Beauty

 

It isn't very often that our kids fall asleep in positions like this, so I had to get it on camera. Poor girl-I should have known something wasnt quite right if she would fall asleep at the kitchen table. She ended up waking up sick in the middle of the night.

Air Force Volleyball

 

We took the girls to an Air Force Volleyball game and it brought back so many memories. If you have only known me since post high school days, you might not know that my life pretty much revolved around volleyball. I played for school in the fall and then played club the rest of the year and usually attended at least one camp each summer. There were plenty of social events I gave up to go to tournaments on the weekend. As I look back I realize that Volleyball is one of the palces where my confidence grew. Well I haven't touched a volleyball in years and actually it is porbalby best that way. I would just be disappointed in my lack of skill now. What a fun game to watch! I hope we get to see a few more.

Lady Antebellum Concert

Peter and I attended a Lady Antebellum Concert in Denver with our friends Dan and Cumorah. To me Lady A sounds a bit more rockish than countryish in person. Great Concert if you ever get a chance to see them in person. Guess who's going to be featured on my next spinning class playlist?

 

 

 

Farewell Cousin Mitchell

We got to spend a weekend with cousins to celebrate the upcoming mission of cousin Mitchell. We "cooked" in the garden, chased after the pigs and rode the ponies.




Thanks for spending your last few days at home with us. You are going to be a fabulous missionary Elder Hyde!
