A Christmas to Remember

We had a wonderful Christmas! It was fun to see the sites of Christmas in DC, Colorado and Utah this year. We especially enjoyed being with family and friends for the holidays. Thanks for a great Christmas!

Rock Climbing in Great Falls Virginia!

Over Thanksgiving, Brett, Cory, Sarah, Joel, and Pat went rock climbing in Great Falls, while Emily was at work. They had a wonderful time 'hanging off a cliff' over the Potomac River. They saw some great scenery with the changing leaves. Virginia is a beautiful place!

A 'Fountain of Blessings' at Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving in DC with our good friends Cory, Sarah and their family. We had a great time playing football, eating yummy food, and touring different sites in DC. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We were thinking about our families at Thanksgiving...we love you!














The mighty feast and the football warriors!

Arlington Cemetery. We are grateful for all those who serve our country.

Colonial Days in the 4th Grade!

Just before Thanksgiving, the 4th grade celebrated Colonial Days. Everyone dressed up in colonial gear and had a grand old time. The kids had fun making corn husk dolls, dancing, bartering and traveling through time to Jamestown. Good times!

Cultural Experience

One of Emily's students invited us to watch her dance. Little did we know that we would be participants. Hope you enjoy Emily getting down on the dance floor.
