December!!

December came and went in a blur so here is a slew of pictures for you. Good luck to you all!! Zach started Junior High cross country. He worked hard and we loved watching him run.

Since Jim is the scoutmaster I am sure there will be many activities at our house. Here is the first one, a stay campout. The boys did some service and ate and played games. At 10pm they did a polar plunge in our pool. It is not heated right now and it was 50degrees in the water. BRRR... That was fun to watch.
They slept outside all over the backyard.
Tyson and Parker ran in the elementary school 1 mile run around the neighborhood.
Since Jacob got out of school early he came and ran with Parker. (they are farther down the sidewalk)
Hey look Christmas already! Christmas eve movie tradition, this year we went to "We bought a zoo". We all loved it! Oh my these kids are getting big!
Christmas morning. Isn't it great that they are all dressed so nice, Christmas on Sunday is wonderful!
They boys all got Christmas ties for the occasion. Is it ok to wear them on other holidays??
Yep thats us.
The blow up penguin was a funny thing for us this year. He became a member of the family.
We came home from church and put our jammies back on. Parker got new golf clubs!! Now we all need to go golfing.Tyson got creationary. I do not know what he is doing in this picture. Being the usual silly Tyson. Keeping us entertained.
Jacob wanted clothes...really! "Nike Elements half zip" Running clothes are different I guess.
Yep Kati was surprised by an I-phone. I love the proper reaction!
A movie cup for Zach our movie boy.
Lots of lovin for a great gift. I think one made at school or home, the best kind.
This years nativity. From Hawaii, made in a coconut. Jim's work friend brought it to us. Love the nativities!

The boys got a trip to the Insight bowl for Christmas so much fun for them. This night Kati and her friend Claire went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. I wish I had pictures of them but nope.
I know you are looking forward to January!!
