Time with family(even if some were sick), fun gifts and toys spread through out the living room, and Christmas lights in Locomotive Park in Lewiston-

many blessings to be thankful for

Merry Christmas to you all!

more December

Kolby was part of the Winter Concert for the 5th-12th graders in Troy.

He got to play the bongo drums during the 5th graders rendition of "Carol of the Bells" called

"Carol of the Boomwhackers"

Then to end the night ALL the kids sang "Christmas Canon"

They all did a great job on their performances 

 

The snow is finally here...and the kids have been sledding any chance they get ..even during the dark sometimes!!

Kassidy building a fort (on our side hill)  we told her to move it to another spot in the yard though :)

December 2012

December....whooosh....started with Tom and I taking a trip to the "North Pole" on a dinner cruise on Couer d'Alene Lake sponsored by BASF for the salesmen and thier spouses of Primeland ;) 

the Cub Scouts went caroling around Troy and also sang the "12 days of Christmas" while waiting for the cocoa to heat up.

We then had our annual Christmas Tree hunt with some friends. 

All that in just the first half of December!!

November 2012

November came and went.  We started the month with a trip to Boise w/a cake in tow for a wedding.  I took Kassidy's Girl Scouts to Disney on Ice in Spokane....that was Amazing...way more than just ice skating princesses!!  We had a enough snow to make huge snow balls but it soon melted away...we all wondered if we'd have a white Christmas.  We spent Thanksgiving in Richlad with Tom's family and his Grandma...what a special time....we also helped rake and haul off their leaves with the help of their new "Gator."

October 2012

The fall flew by WAY TOO FAST....so here I am trying to catch up !

October started with many sunny days...kids were in "summer" clothes playing outside!

Clara helped to rake some leaves,  Heather helped with the first "official" Run for the Angels a 5k run put on by the Inland NorthWest SIDS Foundation.  Then we got a lovely little snow storm at the end of October and also saw another beautiful full moon!  Halloween we carved pumpkins and decided at the last minute to dress up and head to the U of I's trick or treating with the athletes night ;)
