Thanksgiving in Los Angeles - we flew to CA for Thanksgiving this year to visit my brother & his family and also spend time with my mom & stepdad. As our Christmas gift from the grandparents we spent a day at Disneyland!! The kids had a blast together!
Aliana (5), Kiki (4), Carson (7), Kepler (2)
Christmas in Colorado - we enjoyed staying home for the Christmas break and getting to hang out with cousins Bryce & Sydney, Brian's brother/wife and Brian's parents. Brian's cousin, his wife and their 4 kids came out from MN to ski. Brian's mom found a great place in the mountains for us all to stay - there were 18 of us all staying in one house and it was a great time!!
The crew skiing!
One of the big excitements over Christmas break was that Aliana got her ears pierced!
Since Christmas, we've been enjoying skiing a few times with the kids and have been busy at school. My caseload continues to grow... and it's supposed to be even bigger next year! Brian leads the robotics club at his school and he is taking a group of students to NASA in Houston in about a couple months to test a project his students designed to send to the International Space Station. I started volunteering twice a month at our church as a Sign Language Buddy for a little guy in the 4 year old class. Carson played Rec League basketball in January and Aliana enjoys her gymnastic classes 1x/week. Both kids start soccer next month! Can't believe it's almost March!! Happy soon-to-be-spring!!! (I hope!)
