Snow Day!

On the morning of the 15th I awoke to a call from the school district saying that school and all school related activities were cancelled due to weather.  I knew there was a chance of snow, but you just never know for sure around here.  I got up and checked and sure enough we had at least 8", and it was still coming down, along with a howling wind.  I never really went back to bed, which was annoying because it was a Tuesday, and the kids only go to school on Wednesdays, so the phone call was really irrelevant to us.  It was way too cold to go outside, but it was nice to watch the snow and the kids had a great day!

Road Trip!

Chiggie has adjusted so well to high school.  She is having fun and her grades are excellent.  Because her Christmas Vacation is just a little bit longer than usual, we decided to let her go to Canon City to visit with my family for the week before Christmas.  We met half-way in Lone Tree.  The weather was INSANE, but I am so glad it worked out for her to be able to go.  I am so proud of the young lady she is becoming!

 

Gymnastics Fun

Midge and Boo continue to amaze us with their gymnastics skills.  Last weekend we got the call that they would be moving up yet another level.  They are now in advanced girls, and are one level away from participating at meets. 

Christmas Concert

The kids LEAP Christmas concert was adorable this year.  All four little kids participated in some way.  Buster was so nervous, but his part was so cute, I am still trying to find someone who may have been able to video tape it.  Tea played the violin, Boo the recorder, and all four participated in a variety of singing and dancing numbers.  

In addition to recorder, singing, and dancing, Boo also had some art projects on display.  They are enjoying themselves, and this year is going by really quickly!

Downtown Tree Lighting Fun

In early December the city put on a fun "Whoville Christmas" downtown.  It was freezing cold that night, and I will always remember that it was the day of the San Bernardino shooting.  I felt sad, but thankful to be spending time with my family.  We took a carriage ride to see the downtown lights, and we all really enjoyed that!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

 

Thanksgiving 2015

The King's work schedule has been crazy this entire holiday season!  Because he had to work the day before, and the day after Thanksgiving we weren't able to go out of town like we normally do.  Instead of just staying home, we decided to meet my Mom halfway and have dinner at a restaurant for the first time on a holiday.  It ended up being really fun, and I was just thankful that we were able to be together.  Plus there was no big mess to clean up afterwards.  It was definitely an experience we will remember.
