Christmas Traditions

One of our favorite family Christmas traditions
is going to Grandma's house and decorating
mini gingerbread houses.

The cousins all come and they have a great time
creating their masterpieces.








We know, not all the candy makes it onto the
houses!

Thanks Grandma for a fabulous night!

Fall Update

It's been a while since I have posted any
photos, so here is what we have been up
to this fall.

We celebrated Ryan's b-day late, and Jake's a
little early at the Cheesecake Factory. They
have wanted to go there for months and
it did not disappoint!



The cheesecake was HUGE!


Ryan performing in his school orchestra concert.







With some of our favorite teachers, Mrs. Case who has
taught Jake in orchestra in 7th and 8th grade, and is now
also Ryan and Hailey's music teacher. And Mr. Jones,
Jake's 6th grade teacher, a great teacher and mentor.
Jake is almost as tall as him!


Hailey in her Indian get up for Thanksgiving.

Aubrey with her team mates, the Crazy Pickles.
(Ryan also played soccer, but I didn't get any pics!)


Jake was a part of the Fiddlin Falcons at his middle school.


Jake loved playing basketball for the middle school, and
spent hours afterschool practicing.


Jake ran track again this year and did a great job!
