Christmas 2013

Our first Christmas in Lubbock in our new house.  It was wonderful.  The weather was chilly and we actually had some snow around.  There was a lot of lego building and good food to eat thanks to Dad.  The night before Christmas Eve I got really sick...like REALLY sic.  Influenza and Phenomiena sick. We thought Christmas was going to be a bust.  We couldn't go out on Christmas Eve like we originally planned.  But Dad went to Costco and stocked up on all things good and tasty.  We spent the evening watching movies and relaxing.  Christmas morning was perfect.  Our first Christmas with William.  The kids spent the day playing with their new presents and we enjoyed reflecting on all the many blessings we have.

GT Projects

Natali & Isaac have been working on projects for their GT class.  Each had to pretend to be an immigrant coming to Elise Island.  They had to learn a new trait, something their "made up" immigrant would have used.

Natali wanted to learning how to paint pottery.

Isaac wanted to learn how to cook a meal.  Since he was from England he made Yorkshire pudding!! It was a family hit!! They were both so proud of themselves!!
