Bonners Ferry Christmas

We spent Christmas in Bonners Ferry this year.  There was lots of snow for the kids...Marcus couldn't wait; he was up to his ears in snow the moment we arrived.

Diesel made the trip with us..this is one happy dog.

So pretty.

The kids played in the snow most of the weekend.  Marcus, Gia, Emma, Ceci and Olivia posed with Diesel.

All the cousins were there.

Sophie still loves to play in the snow...even at age 14!

Emma is loving all this white stuff.

Diesel kept up with all the kids in the snow.

Hi Marcus.

Olivia dug a fort.

Diesel stayed close by.

The kids had a gingerbread house making contest.  The boys were partners.

Emma and Ceci were partners; they took this seriously.

Olivia partnered up with Sophie.

Elle and Gia were partners so Sophie helped them out a bit.

Diesel was so tired from all the snow play.

Baylor and Marcus created this "man cave".

Elle and Gia created this fun little house.

Olivia and Sophie made an A-frame.

Ceci and Emma spent a lot of time on their house.

They turned out beautiful.

Great job kids...matching PJs from Grami too!

Merry Christmas Everyone!  Happy New Year too!

2017 Santa Picture

Merry Christmas!

Weekend Fun

Grami and Poppi came over last night so we could go to a Christmas party.  Grami got this great picture of Marcus shoveling the snow...we just got snow and this is one happy boy!

Grami also got a great picture of the kids in front of the tree.  I totally forgot to do that this year so Thanks Grami!

  

The girls had a game this morning...they started the game with a great warm up.

Riverside vs. Riverside...Go girls!

Olivia shoots the ball...the 6th graders played the 5th graders...there are some little 5th graders! 

Our girls stack it up.

Emma, Lexie and Olivia supported their team from the bench.  

Olivia ready to pass to Emma.

Emma brings the ball up the court...such a good point guard.

Go Riverside!  We ended with the win but it was a lot of fun for all the girls.

Thanks for coming Grami and Poppi!

Christmas Cheer

Diesel is getting so big...he sits so pretty too.

The girls made some amazing gifts for their friends this year.  Nana shared a cool website with us and the girls went to work.  There are donut snowmen, Santa-tizers, Raindeer candy canes and Christmas pencils.

Perfect little gift.

The girls made an amazing Gingerbread Pyramid.  They are studying Egypt right now so it only makes sense to make pyramids.  They were actually graded on this project!  How fun is that!

We finally got our tree up.  The kids decorated this year; I had no input at all other than lights.  They did a beautiful job!  Merry Christmas.

More Basketball

   

The girls played Deer Park this weekend.  Emma got to go to the line right away.  Another family got this great photo of her for us.

Perfect form...Love this girl!

I got her from behind since I keep score at the games.

Emma played a great game.  She only sat one time.  She hustled and did so amazing.

Marcus was nice enough to video for us.

Olivia had a great game too.  She scored 6 points!  Sadly I couldn't get many pictures due to score keeping but I was so proud.

After the game we went and watched the high school play Australia.  These girls are crazy.

They were doing all sorts of cheers...their little friend, Jenna, wasn't too sure.

They eventually got her to join in.

These are such great girls.  Can't wait to watch them grow and play more ball together!
