December Fun

December has been a combination of emotions but we have done some fun things with the kiddos. Here is some of the fun we have had:
Picking out and decorating our Christmas tree:

Ok, so this isn't the one we picked but the kids liked the Charlie Brown tree:)

We had an awesome day at Smith Ranch in Julian where we rode a mining train, went in the mine, panned for gold, learned to pump water the old fashioned way, walked a rope bridge and busted open fresh chestnuts. The Smith's were so nice and the kids had so much fun, what a great experience!

We had an afternoon of baking w/Auntie Erin:

And Jackson was an angel in his play at school. The first picture is his reaction to seeing Lily and I in the audience. What a sweet guy! He did so well and sang his little heart and at the end of the evening a surprise guest arrived. And boy were the kids happy about it!

More fun to come!
