Christmas Day 2013

Christmas Day 2013. Kyle woke us up about 7 cause we told him not to any sooner. We loved having Grandma Smith here with us this year.

Lance tries on a stylish hat from Katie-she also gave him a bowtie

Katie likes cups and Lance gave her this Dr. Who cup

Kyle had a list of books he wanted for Christmas and was excited to get a couple of them

Lance was so excited to get a Wii U and Kyle a Galaxy tablet

Katie got a laundry basket full of goodies including this puzzle

Heather models new pj's and slippers. John gave all the girls new slippers

We have a Christmas Eve tradition where we open one gift and it's always a game then we play the game. This year we got 2 games: Heads Up and Snake Oil. We had Grandma Smith here with us and we usually feed the missionaries so the Sisters were also with us. We had a great time playing our new games.

1st basketball games

Kyle plays on a 6th grade team for Rehoboth mid school. They actually scrimmaged the other 6th grade team for their first game because the opposing team didn't have a 6th grade team.

Kyle is 2nd from the left sitting on the bench

Kyle on the court-he did a great job.

Lance's first high school game for Rehoboth. They played in Wingate. He started for the JV team. They lost but had a great game-especially the 2nd half. They came back from a 20 point deficit.

Lance is in back looking up when I took this picture

Lance is #5

Leaving the school

This is what I saw the whole trip as I followed the bus

Hanging out and having dinner at Carol's house in Colorado Springs

The boys in Carol's hot tub. They got out and rolled in the snow then hopped back in the warm water. This is their James Bond pose

Lance in the front

The girls hang out while the boys are in the hot tub.

I tipped the girls off by telling them about the boys rolling in the snow then jumping back in the hot tub. They wanted to see for themselves so peeked out the window to get a good look at the boys.

This was a Presbyterian church we sang at in Colorado Springs. The kids were supposed to dress in "traditional" clothes

Raven sings a solo-she sounds like an angel!

Driving through Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs

I was lucky enough to chaperone this choir trip. After the last performance I brought Lance and another basketball player home early so they could be in Gallup in time for the first basketball game of the season.
