Christmas 2020

 

Powerline trail

We hiked up Green Mountain and then went on a different trail back down.  Someone had places Christmas ornaments all along the way.  It was so cool. 

 

Projects

We seem to keep busy with some type of project around here.  Jarom was building a knife with the deacons quorum and that got him excited about building a forge.  He made what he called a "war spoon".  

Josiah and Nathan got a fixer upper car in Tacoma that they will rebuild the engine on.

The new to us Celica that Josiah will drive once it is ready to go.

Sadie did an awesome job on this wreath for our door.

This area should have been cleaned out years ago to make room for the trailer.  It looks so much better.

We made "gingerbread" houses our of graham crackers.

I went back to making cinnamon roll rings this year for others.  

 

Some pictures and a video

A new hat the Elijah is trying out in a different way.

My hair has grown quite a bit this year.

Our snowman named Oatmeal.  I caved and we had him for some of our Christmas decor.

This handsome dude ready for church.

It's December and he is mowing. 

Josiah and Jarom dismantling the tower.

Richard Scary was mentioned in an email from one of Nathan's family so we brought out one of our favorites that hasn't been read in a while.  It was Peasant Pig and the Terrible Dragon.  It is always fun to have Nathan read books. 

Sadie's awesome snowflakes.

This is an older pic but thought it was cute.

 

Fall walks

We really do live in a beautiful area and have many places to go wander near the water.  

The sun starting to set.

This was a scenic beach area.  The lighting was perfect for photos.

I am trying to take a picture of everyone and the kids completely lost it.  Nathan is off to the side just looking at them wondering what the heck is going on.

These are so some great kids even if it is tough to get pics of them.
