December

 

Welcome to December!
Let the winter begin...

Mitchell signed up for HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!
He has already begun off season weight training!

The 6-pack is real.

Take a close look at Colette with braces...



No cameras please!

And here she is WITHOUT braces!
FINALLY!

Parker's Christmas Concert!
They played this amazing hymn called
"And Can It Be?"
About the Savior
It's so powerful!
Even Parker's band director said,
even though he doesn't personally have a faith,
when he plays something about Christ,
it is just powerful!
And he went on to describe how
he doesn't personally understand it,
but he feels the power in the music
that pertains to Jesus Christ.
Parker said it was amazing to hear
him talk about Jesus that way,
not understanding the Spirit,
but bearing testimony of it in a small way.
I'll tag on some more videos of the concert at the bottom
if you're wanting more!
They were all spectacular!

Here's a cool display of all the awards

the marching band won this season!

They are epic!

We had a WHITE ELEPHANT gift exchange
with the Seals!
(I'm getting terrible at taking
important pictures at important times)

Sterling scored an awesome box
that as you slowly open the lid...
a SPIDER jumps out!

He loves reading books,

and everyone loves being the one to read books to him!

He sleeps like an old man

in his carseat.

He was being silly with Mitchell's

Harry Potter Glasses!

Sitting on his throne!

Colette bought him this

awesome Lightening McQueen chair

for Christmas!

My bestie gave me an awesome furry blanket

for Christmas!

I LOVE IT!

We rang in the NEW YEAR

with SPARKLERS!

The older kids were gone,

Sterling fell asleep,

and so it was just 

Richard and I

with Cora and Britta!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My Dad came in unexpectedly

for a wedding with my stepmom, Nanette.

So we crashed their

post-new years party!

It was a fun way to start the new year

with Grandpa Gary!
