Christmas Fun

Brecon sings his heart out at the Winter Concert. He did such a great job! Watch the family video for the entire show.

 

 

I thought it was pretty cute that these three wore matching purple shirts to go bowling. They played a pretty good game, but Grandpa was the winning with the highest score.

One of the fun gifts we got this year was a rock tumbler and our very own geodes. It was freezing cold, but Cael had been begging everyday to do this activity. The time finally arrived and they each took a turn cracking them open. It was quite the ordeal, but with many heavy strikes with the hammer, those geodes opened up and we found sparkly treasure inside.

 

Of course we had to make sugar cookies with Grandma to make  Christmas complete. Brielle was a great helper when all the boys were gone to a birthday party. The matching aprons was a perfect gift and looked so cute!

 One of the things I really wanted to do during the break was taken the kids swimming. The prices on some of the indoor waterparks was enough to make me cringe, so I opted for a Holiday Inn Express with a pool. It was a fun adventure, the pool was perfect, and fun memories were made. My favorite was after getting everyone settled down for the night and it was all quiet, Brielle pipes up "I smell stinky butt!" Everyone started to laugh, especially Grandpa Hoopes. We swam after breakfast the next morning and didn't leave until it was time to check-out... most of us had wet hair on the drive home.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
