Our favorite tradition of the year is all of the neighbors gathering together right before Christmas and 

going downtown to share lunches with the homeless.  Nick and Keri are angels for starting this tradition...

The Little Gingerbread Man

Levi was the cutest gingerbread man in his preschool play that you ever did see!

 He was not happy that we made him pose with the girls...someday I have a feeling that will change:)

Football Champions and Fabulous Concerts

 

Kaden and his Raven football team were undefeated this season and won the Super Bowl! 

It was a awesome group of boys and coaches. Congratulations K-Dog!!

Taylor is in her 3rd year in Show Choir at Rogich Middle School and she is aaaamaaazing! She is the best singer/dancer/performer ever (Not biased at all am I?:) Really, she is so cute and we are so proud!

 We love the kids principal too...Suzie is the best!!

 And Jackson is a wonderful percussionist in Rogich Band. He loves it and he's really good!!

Grandkids Sleepover 2013

The Grandkids Sleepover was fabulous...oh, how I love these kiddos! 

And while cute Mr. Asher didn't get to spend the night yet for the sleepover, I just had to post this sweet, heart melting pic:) Is he adorable or what?!

For the sleepover, we: went to the movies, ordered pizza, went to the live nativity, made gingerbread houses, watched a movie with popcorn, had treats and hot chocolate, played Killer Uno, opened presents, had crepes for breakfast:) And I think I'm leaving out a few things...haha! 

The kids have really come to love this tradition, and that makes this grandma happy!

Taylor's cute friend Chloe joined us this year...I asked her mom if we could just keep her:):)

Frozen was sooo great!

And this was the moment at the nativity when Mary and Joseph recognized Levi:) 

This was our first sleepover without Caleb... we all cried a few tears, and talked about him a lot and how much we missed him. He LOVED the sleepover and talked about it all year. 

He liked every single thing we did and brought such joy and happiness. 

I'll bet Caleb was in charge of the sleepover in heaven this year:)
