Cookie Decorating



Makenna likes to help bake the cookies!!!! She loves the sugar cookies, thank goodness, because these are not my favorite to make. We do love to decorate them though!

Choir Performance

After the performance, the kids went caroling in the neighborhood..this is with their principal, Mr. Lorimer. (By the way, Vance is not in the choir, but likes to walk around the neighborhood when they carol...basically, he likes ringing the doorbell and running!)

Makenna singing in the choir! They sang festive holiday carols.

Vance participated in the Temecula Parade with his hockey league. They all lit up their helmets and sticks and skating down the parade!! So fun to watch!

Temecula Parade

Vance Wins The Championship Game!

Vance is officially named "The Wall" by his opponents and his teammates. It turns out he is a very talented goalie, which turns out to be very stressful to watch in the stands! The final score tonight 11-5. He is very proud, as are we! Go Rangers! He will do some hockey clinics Jan-Mar until the spring season starts up. Then, he is looking forward to a summer ice hockey camp!

Christmas Decorating

O Christmas Tree...O Christmas Tree!

Notice Makenna's Christmas pjs??? Bella is a Christmas dog, so we thought it was appropriate!

Vance all wrapped up in decorating!

The kids and Bella!

Makenna decorating the tree!

We had fun decorating this year. We made hot chocolate, had some good ole' fashion Christmas music playing and went to town! It is fun as the kids get older..they kind of just take over (Makenna mostly).
