I wasn't supposed to have any of the kids this year
but Brooke and Chris decided it would be best
not to travel to San Diego with kids and airplanes
so they came to our house instead.
We started right off making Christmas cookies
see whose working
and whose eating?
Then into the games
One of the days we decided to go on a hike our near
Kitsap Lake at Ueland Tree Farm Trails
We opted for the 3.5 mile hike to a waterfall
I hope it's bigger than this
Family picture break
BIG culvert
Dickerson Creek Waterfall
There is a beaver dam to the right of Ellie in the
background
No one wanted to walk through
so I could get a picture
There were a lot of huckleberries still
on the bushes
Some more games came out
Then we decided to make Gingerbread Houses
only using frosted Pop Tarts
Yummy front door
and Santa's landing strip on the roof
and a little snow
Cute...girl and house
even the boy and his house
They did an excellent job!!
Christmas morning before the disaster
And then the projects began
Pete got a truck and motorcycle
Lego set
Ellie started making her bubble bath bombs
Fund things to make
even an archeological dig
and Robots to put together
We had a great time with the kids.
Missed those California kids tho!
Happy New Year!!!
