With Ben home this year, we are expecting to have a beautiful Christmas! We missed out on the Annual Christmas skate with the church since Ben had to work, but we had the opportunity to give the girls something just as good. There were free ice skating lessons on the rink so the girls learned for instructors. Then after the class was over, the girls went out on the ice with Ben and had a great time! Angelique was really getting the hang of it before we left so we will be going back again!
Angelique had her first sing a long at school. 3 classes presented about 15 minutes of singing and poems, some with sign language! It was really nice!
So 7 hours to Prescott and 1 1/2hr to Phoenix and the girls did so good! We had a wonderful time driving with them. In Phoenix, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving day, in which I didn't take any pictures because the women folk were in the kitchen cooking while the men were catching up...no really, it was nice. I like to cook, and I like when I make good food. We went out into the desert bush on Friday, away from the craziness of black Friday, to shoot some guns. And when I say some, I mean a lot!! Check out Ben!
We had our first family road tirp/vacation this year. We headed out to Prescott, AZ to visit our newest members to our church at the new satelite church. We went out to show support and get to know more of the Body of Christ. We had a really great time. It was brisk and wintery, we were able to bundle up at night and see our breath. There were piles of leaves to play in, bronze pigs to take pictures next to (lol), climb trees...It was really funny, the weekend before it had snowed and there we were at the park in tee shirts! It was lovely weather. After a few days in Prescott, we headed over to Phoenix, to spend Thanksgiving with our friends Chris and Mary.
