December 2016
We had a lot of fun in the December of 2016! We also took A LOT of pictures, but these were some of my favorites. My student Ashley Moreno took our family christmas pictures and she did a fantastic job. We decided to wear the ugliest christmas sweaters we could find and go all out with the christmas spirit. We've never done it before- not sure we'll do it again, but they turned out pretty cute!
Ginger Bread houses!

Maddy came down to visit for christmas and entered into a singing competition at the local movie theater! She won and got a prize! Jordan judged but had to pretend like he didn't know her. Ha ha. The other judges ultimately chose her as the winner so it was fair.

After Christmas we went to Joanna's cabin for a few days. It was so much fun. We got to know Rachael a lot more on this trip. We love her!
Dad decided it was time to run a half marathon on New year's Eve. He ran it sick as a dog after eating some bad Pei Wei. It was definitely a memorable race- and not in a good way.
The kids waited as he ran.
He did "trotting" the whole way. . .
