This was Gingerbread House building - they had a ball, but the arguing - Holy cow - I can't reach I can't see.... Now its can we eat it, can we have a piece.
Tree hunting with our friends Jason and Bev and their three girls. We had a great time. As you can see the kids rode around on the trailer with the dads, as the moms walked behind for exercise and chatting! We found two beautiful trees, then went back for stew and marshmallow roasting.
Snow angels, who could resist, the only problem, as soon as the kids got down in the snow Shayleigh decided they needed help, and would lick and jump around them.
Thats Russ second from the right, Dylan is in the back. Tayler and I ringing our bells. On the far left is my friend Bev with Cora and Baby River, Sheila is in the festive vest, she is Taylers teacher. Tay loves her!!!
The kids were all in a Christmas Concert at Forest Grove. The boys were elves in the skit The Shoemaker and The Elves. And Tayler and her classmates from Strong start rang jingle bells to "Jingle Bells" Tayler was ringing so hard the bells almost fell off.The concert was 2 hours, we had lots of community participation - from the Forest Grove Church, to the Volunteer Fire Fighters, young piano players, singers and a belly dancer. In the end there was an audience of almost 200 people -pretty impressive for a school of 25 kids!!! And of course Santa made an appearance!
They are getting so confident with sledding, they have jumps, and now they are standing on the sleds, future snowboarders!

Great photos, Kelly! Looks like it's very festive and lots of fun up there! It was so good to talk to you (despite the constant interruptions) the other day. Can't wait to see you over the holidays!
