Hiking

Last Sunday we dropped the kiddos off at my in-laws and headed out to Sugarloaf for a day of hiking. It took us about two hours to make it up to Gunsight Rock -- it's a grueling hike! It was so awesome spending quality time with Justin and enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery.

Christmas '10

Although we celebrate Hanukkah at home, we thoroughly enjoy Christmas fun at Grandma Sherry and Grandpa John's. A couple of weeks ago the kids and I helped to trim their tree. It is a tradition we started last year, and I really love it. On Christmas day, we spent the afternoon at the Magers' along with Bryan and my parents.

Our VIP

Alanna is the VIP in her class this week. She was so excited for her week to arrive. We made a picture timeline that is displayed in the classroom. She had to share it with the class on Monday and children were able to ask questions and comment on the photos. She gets to sit in a special chair in front of the "learning carpet," dismiss children to their tables, hold the flag during The Pledge of Allegiance, be the line-leader, etc...
