Our package from Russia has arrived!

Zack recieved his Bear award last week at packnight. Now on to Webelos!




Well, we received a box from Russia today. I opened it up and Kade promptly removed everything. The kids were excited about their t-shirts and hats. Notice Colin home from school (stomach problems again) and Zack is at school.

Sledding over Christmas Break

There is an awesome sledding hill at Cindy's sister's house in Preston. It comes complete with Russian-like temperatures. We visited here twice over the break, once with Tyler and once with Steve and Laura's family. I tried it only once--but the kids had a good time.

Morrison Family Christmas Party

This year we held our annual Morrison Christmas Party at Dave and Gina's house. We ate some delicious dinner and then continued with our tradition of doing the nativity play. McKena got to be Mary this year, a first for her. Zackary was Joseph, Colin a shepherd, and Kade a wise man. The kids did a good job, except for the wise man making a running escape at the end during the photo session. We then took family pictures and then opened presents of course. It was a very nice day.

My nativities, and this cute little Believe sign that John's cousin makes.

My fireplace (I have more stockings, but not enough stocking holders) and my new couch.
