Christmas Eve

We've eaten Christmas dinner and opened the new pajamas. We are now watching the end of A Christmas Story. Almost time for bed!

Scuba with Santa

A local place that offers scuba classes had a "take a scuba photo with Santa" promotion last week. Harrison and I went over there, had a quick scuba tutoring session, put on all the gear, descended to about 12 feet deep, and then got our photos taken.
We spent about 15 minutes at the bottom of the tank. It was a blast - we may have found a new favorite activity! Maybe we'll have to get certified now. There's also a scout scuba patch we can earn. I'd like to take Kerianne next time we go - I think she'd like it too.

Ice Skating

This week Kerianne and I took the kids ice skating. The kids weren't sure at first that it was going to be fun. They were a bit wobbly and we all fell down a lot. After a while, they figured out how to keep their feet and ankles straight and glide. We had a great time and they ask every day if we can go again. I wouldn't mind going every week or two - it's great exercise for all of us!

Basketball - Spencer

Spencer is playing basketball again this winter. His friend Michael is on the team. Their first game was last week, and Spencer almost made a basket. The coach seems to know what he is doing and runs a lot of drills. Spencer says he's having a lot of fun. A lot of the kids on the team are from his school.

Happy Birthday Harrison!

Harrison turned 12 today. Happy Birthday buddy! I can't believe you are 12 years old. It doesn't seem that long ago when you were born and we brought you home from the hospital. We've sure had a lot of fun since then! I know you're going to go far in everything you do.

I love your idea for the eraser guy cake. Very cool!

Christmas Program

Our ward did the annual Christmas Program as a breakfast this year. It was fun and the breakfast food they served was delicious. As usual, they had a Nativity with some of the kids dressing up and playing parts. All of our kids were asked to be in it and Kerianne sewed the costumes yesterday. Keri and Kaylee were angels, Spencer was a shepherd, and Harrison was Joseph.
