Christmas 2014

Houston had his pre-school Christmas party and did great!


Because we couldn't be with daddy's side of the family this Christmas they sent their Christmas presents to us. Star Wars ties

We were lucky enough to spend Christmas with the entire Schlenker side of the family at Ashley Lake this year. Our way up:

It was such a blessed holiday: no kids got sick, no one had injuries, no fighting (except for the royal rumble). Just wonderful memories!
The overload of pictures is not very organized but you get the idea. Uncle Matt provided many of the great shots.




On Christmas Eve we put on a program and all the kids participated. It was very special. At the end the grandkids presenting Grandma and Papa's gift which was a snowball story (each kid wrote a portion) called "Grandma and Papa's Christmas Adventure".


Each day a different person was in charge of fixing supper. On Christmas morning, Uncle Derek and Ben made heavenly scones.

One highlight was going Skiing and snowboarding.



Cooper was a trooper hanging out at the ski hill. Grandma Campbell took care of him most of the time. He loved watching the cars below the lodge and banging on the window.

Another highlight for some was going ice fishing. Houston and daddy went out late after no one had been able to catch anything. But Houston came along and caught the first fish! Soon everyone was catching them too.

Uncle Matt was kind enough to do mini family photo shoots with everyone. These are our favorites.
