Christian's Golden Birthday
Christian turned 13 on the 13th! For his birthday, he skipped school and Chuck and I took him to Mongolian BBQ for lunch. (Mongolian BBQ is a family favorite but there just wasn't an evening when we could all go together).
For his party, he had four friends over for dinner (pizza) and cake (mint chip ice cream) and then they went to Bam Kazam which is an amusement center that challenges you physically and mentally.

Girls Trip to Denver
Hannah and I took a trip to Denver during the Christmas break to visit Charity. Charity has a cute little condo that was very comfortable to stay in. She had lots of things planned for us to do, but we also had a good bit of down time.
We went to tea one day and had a good meal, but more importantly the desserts were amazing.
We also looked around the world's largest REI.
Charity and Hannah went to the botanical gardens to look at lights.
It was great to see Charity and spend time with her. Our trip was just the right among of time. It's fun to see explore and experience different cities, but overall, Hannah and I don't have the desire to live in Denver.

Merry Christmas!
It was a quiet Christmas at home this year (just like I like it). Life is so busy that we didn't do a lot of pre-Christmas activities but we did decorate graham cracker houses with the Hamblins and Hatches. We opened presents in the morning, went to church and had family dinner that evening.

Fall Sports - Football, Swim, Cross Country & Baseball
Oh so many things to say about this football season! After Cameron stood on the side lines a lot during the summer 7 on 7 passing league, we started the year with a one on one with the coach. We asked, in not so many words, if Cameron would get playing time. Of course he gave us the expected answers (insert eye roll). We also asked if it would be possible for him to spend time going to "the lab" which is an opportunity for long snappers and kickers to work with former pro players who do it out of the goodness of their hearts and not for money. Again, we got the expected answer. Cameron was expected to always practice with the team (insert another eye roll). He was told he needed to enroll for weight training, so he did. But as it turned out, all the football players enrolled for first hour. Cameron was not able to take first hour weight training because it was the only time band was offered for him. However, the football players did not lift weights during first hour, they lifted before school. Cameron had planned on lifting during his sixth hour until he was told (in not so many words) that he would not get to play if he did not attend weight training before school (yes, insert another eye roll). So he decided to go to weight training before school. Practice was after school usually until 7pm or so. So, yes, it was a very long day but no one seemed to care. The team went down a division this year and did very well. The finished the season 9-1. They often beat the other teams by 50+ points. Because they scored so many touch downs, Cameron did get to snap a lot. He also got to play tight end. But the coach often kept the first string in and ran up the score. Yeah, we weren't big fans of the coach. They ended the season as Regional Champions and secured a spot in the playoffs.
