Day Care Christmas Party

Berta, our Day Care lady, always hosts a Christmas Party for the kids. Each year it is so much fun. The kids put on Reindeer antlers, eat yummy treats and sing Christmas songs while Berta's good friend Rod plays the guitar.

This was Wyatt's first Christmas party and he enjoyed the festivities very much.

Room full of excited kids and parents!

Wyatt enjoyed all the tissue paper flying around from all the gifts!

Each year the kids get a ton of gifts from everyone. Morgan can't wait to open them to see what exciting things he will get.

Here he is looking over a coloring book he got. He is very Thankful for Berta and all his wonderful friends at the Day Care.

Grand Re-Opening of the Loveland Recreation Center

The Recreation Center in Loveland has been around for many many years. This year they decided to give it a face lift and do some upgrades. On Saturday, December 18th they held a Grand Re-Opening and had lots of activities for children. So we took the boys. One of the activities was a demonstration by an Athletic Class for kids that teaches them how to be good athletes and have sportsmanship. Here they are learning how to stretch. This picture is of the 5 seconds that Morgan actually paid attention to the stretches.....but after about 5 seconds he was running around the gym like a crazy man!

They had an obsticle course where kids could run through object on the floor.

And jump through hoops!

This game is always fun, the parachute game! Kids throw a parachute up and down and then throw it up really high and run underneath it.

Morgan liked when they would shake the parachute really fast!

There was face painting for the kids and Morgan wanted to get his face painted like....you guessed it....SPIDERMAN!!

Our Family Christmas Tree

Morgan helped us decorate the tree this year. Mommy put up the lights (with Daddy's help on the tall parts) and then Morgan helped hang the ornaments.

He did a very good job....and then of course little brother Wyatt would come and take down all the low hanging ones that Morgan put up.

The finished product!

Manes Nursery Tree Lot

With Colby's business he was able to do a Christmas Tree Lot this year at his shop. It turned out really well, and the best part was that $5 of each tree sold went to benefit the Kempe Foundation, which is a local foundation for abused and neglected children.

Morgan liked to come and help Colby every once in a while.

He picked out a great Christmas tree for the house!
