Skiing Lessons

Yesterday all 3 boys took ski lessons. They all did really great!

This was Zack's first time on skis. He was very confident and tried really hard. He was on the bunny hill the whole time, but he did ask his teacher to take him to the top of the biggest hill! He loved skiing!

Levi spent most of his lesson on the medium sized hill. It took him a little bit to get his balance, but once he did, he was doing great!

Jake (he's on the right) was on the biggest hill for most of his lesson. He did really well, I think he's ready for the mountains!

Our Christmas Celebration

As always, Christmas came and went too fast! We had a really great Christmas, filled with family, fun and lots of food!

We started out our Christmas with a candlelight service on Christmas Eve.

After church we all went back to my parents house to celebrate with Oma's, Opa's, Aunts, Uncles & cousins.

Opening gifts:

Christmas morning was just our family of 5. We had breakfast and took a few family pictures:

Then we opened gifts:

There seems to be a Lego Star Wars theme!

Zack got a HUGE giraffe from Grandma & Grandpa:

After lunch and naps, we all went skating:

All of us! (Except my Dad, he was taking the picture)

After skating we all went back to our house for an evening of presents:

From our family to yours... Merry Christmas!! I hope you had a great Christmas :)
