Some fun in January!

Ethan has been having some fun this month with our church!  I am so thankful for our wonderful Children's Pastor, Pam.  She is wonderful and always thinks of fun ways to get the elementary kids together and share fun times and fellowship!

Ethan and Emma attended our churches, Winter Bash at the Westerville Rec Center on Jan. 10th.  Emma hung out with some friends and Ethan invited his best friend, Dom to swim with him.  Fun times had by all!

This past Friday, Ethan bowled at Star Lanes with his 3rd-5th grade church friends and Emma and I chaperoned.  Well really me....Emma decided to win some points for Ethan and her to win prizes...while he was bowling!  Again fun times...plus he did not want to leave!

Then this morning, Ethan volunteered to acolyte at church.  He has been asking for a couple of months so now it is his turn.  He had a crash course right before service and his partner did not show, so he did it all by himself.  Very proud of him!  He told me he wants to do it again.  Good thing because he will do it again on Valentine's Day!

Left 2015 with a bang!

It has been a great almost 2 1/2 weeks off with my family!  Even though Erik's foot is still healing with still had a wonderful Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, NYE and lots of friends and family time together!  I hope everyone did as well.  Here's to a wonderful 2016!


This is our Christmas Eve service at our church!  Ethan did extremely well and we also drove around downtown Columbus to see lights and a few in Westerville!

Christmas morning with Santa coming to our house, Christmas breakfast with the Turner family, Christmas again at our house with the Kyre's and spent the evening with Uncle Steve's house celebrating his birthday!

On NYE, we went to House of Japan for dinner and then Emma went over to a friend's house (Josie) and her brother (Warren) came over to our house for a few hours.  The kids had a great time and we rang in the new year with noise makers!

We did have some fun as well during break, with a family & friend movie to see Star Wars, Skyzone visit and Emma went to the mall with her friend Josie!  Sad to see our mini break go, but it is back to our normal schedule of work, school, dance & soccer!
