A couple of weeks ago all 7 of us got on the ice together.
Our girls are finished with their skating lessons for now. They worked very hard and can now all skate independently. Karis goes very fast (even though she doesn't know how to stop). Karis just likes to go all out in most of what she does.
Silas is very mobile these days.
And the other day our morning started like this... crash! "Mom, I was trying to plug in the tree and I knocked it down."
We went to Spencer's school for crêpes with our friends the Werdals. Santa was there as well.
Peter has enjoyed using the bleachers as a road for his ambulance during the girls' skating lessons.
We visited with Grandpa Clark and he blessed our kids with some nice Christmas gifts. And the girls put a wrench in his plan to make a quick exit after dinner by reminding him that they still hadn't finished their game of Sorry. So Grandpa was a good sport and finished a long game of Sorry with the girls.
Peter had his 2nd hair cut. Although he was scared, he did amazing and sat in the chair on his own this time. When I asked him how he was doing, he said "too scary for me, I want down now." And then he made this facial expression.
The end result.
We rode the Christmas train at Bear Creek Park and met another Santa.
And Spencer and I got out for a date in downtown Vancouver. We even went to Robson Square to do some skating.
Last night we took the kids on our annual Christmas light tour. They were crazy excited about this. The houses that have their lights synched to music are always a favorite.
Our Jesse tree is getting very full. This is our 5th year going through the same advent readings and using the same ornaments. We love this tradition. Here's a flashback to 5 years ago...
And "Guesstures" has brought our Friday night family games night to the next level. "Guesstures" is a timed game of charades, we had so much fun playing this tonight.
