End of December in California

We had to rush home on Saturday after Christmas so we could be to church on Sunday and also to our friend Nat's baptism.  She and Levi have been good friends as long as they've known each other and her family got orders to a new base so this was our last chance to see them.  The kids had a lot of fun together after the big event.  We will miss this amazingly good family.  We are blessed to know so many wonderful people!


As you can see, they were peas in a pod.

We closed out the year with our California family/friends the Nelsons.  The moms took the kids over to the church for a Nerf Battle on Decemeber 30.  We built forts, chose weapons and teams and had a riot!







They were kind enough to invite us over for New Year's Eve as well.  We ate a yummy dinner and then played our new game Perpetual Commotion (that Jonas got for Christmas but has given up on playing after only one round).  This game is a throw back to our good friends in Kentucky, the Colcords, who we adore!  Its a speed card game for a crowd and it is so much fun!!  We came home around 10:30 put the kids in bed (much to Bryant's chagrin) and then Ethan and I watched an episode of Arrow, kissed at midnight and went to bed.  We'd had a busy week, we were tired. :)

Oh my gosh! That looks like the best Nerf battle I've ever seen!

You are awesome. That game looked like it would be a blast. Loved all of the pictures and tells you told from start to finish. Jonas sure makes is love of gifts known. I laughed once again at Levi's reaction to the tennis racket. He will learn to love it. Keep all of the stories and pictures coming.

Much love Mom
