Bowling

We had a great time bowling the other day. Colton actually had a great time I just didn't pull my phone out until after his game was over and he was devastated. Jonathan let him take some of his turns and he was very sad when he didn't hit any pins. (no bumpers on his lane) He said "I want to win". Kirsten and Bryce had a great time running around together and knocking down pins.

Christmas

Christmas Eve

We had a fabulous Christmas Eve today! The kids woke up to snowman pancakes made by papa. The kids played all day. They wrestled each other and Eric. Jonathan was flipping them over and Eric decided he wanted in on the action.
Papa took Colton, Kirsten, and Bryce on a walk on the beach. They were looking at a house with a bunch of totem poles when he owner came out and offered to show them how he makes all the totem poles.
We had snowman pizza for dinner and then decorated cookies. Then we had our program.
Kirsten played "Jingle bells" on the piano. She has been practicing for weeks and did a fantastic job. Other talents were shared including a very moving interpretive dance by Geoff:)
The kids acted out the nativity which was so cute. Max decided he wanted to be baby Jesus too and laid down on the table like Adelaide.
Then they all got to open a big present which had p.j.'s for all the kids, a movie, popcorn, and hot chocolate. The kids watched the movie, drank hot cocoa and then headed off to bed. They are so excited for Christmas tomorrow! Such a great day! And Kirsten got to give Sally elf a hug goodbye.
