December

We kicked off the month celebrating Brenda's birthday.

 The best part was having ALL the kids home for Christmas. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and got outside.

October and November, 2012

  The five of us were able to get away for a few days during Fall Break. We enjoyed a cabin in the Smokey Mountains of Gattlinburg, TN. and a return visit to Rock City - after a dozen years. The kids barely had a memory of it!!
  In early November we celebrated our Conference Championship with a ring ceremony. All the former seniors returned, a highlight video was shown and we enjoyed our guest speakers.
  Scott was able to join us for Thanksgiving for a whole week!

                           What a magnificent view!

                                Jesse, Sarah & Hannah can jump really high!!!
