Happy Chaos

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. We played board games, made food, ate food, watched football, played football, basketball and volleyball, took sack lunches to homeless, visited the lights at the Botanical garden. We even got to sled and build two snowmen in our own front yard!

Logs, Trish, Dana and Michelle were all out of school and along with Erin and Ryan were here for 2 weeks. So we started with this family picture:

On Dec 23rd, Robin, Fred, Shaun and Reese came from Kennewick. It's amazing what happens when a group works together. They made good use of the discard from the bathroom remodel.

We had the annual Christmas Eve play: Erin and Ryan as Mary and Joseph and Reese, at 9 mo, was not a very cooperative baby Jesus. Dan was the donkey, of course, and Robin the cow, Shaun and Michelle were sheep, Fred and Trish were shepherds, but only 1 wiseman, Dana, made it! Logan was the camerman.

Imagine our surprise 2 days after Christmas as we're at the church playing full-court bball, when in walk Lani, Scott, Eden, Andrew and Jake! having driven!! from Rapid City, SD!!! in December!!!! Are they nuts??

The Dixon girls minus Elise (we missed you!)
