FUTSAL TOURNAMENT

 Sadie played in her first Futsal soccer tournament over Christmas Break with Impact Academy.  Sadie and her friend Brooklyn have been practicing once a week with the Academy.  Sadie had so much fun playing in the tournament.  We are so glad she likes soccer.  It is such a great way for her to get exercise and stay in shape.  She is really learning to be more aggressive :) WAY TO GO SADIE!

CHRISTMAS AT THE NELSON'S

My dad made my mom a quilt this year for Christmas.  It was made up of 56 shirts from all of the marathons he has run.  It was so sweet.  She was super surprised and he was so excited to give it to her...
  What a gift of LOVE :)

 Fun opening presents with the Nelson's.

CHRISTMAS EVE

 Once again we bowled on Christmas Eve Day with the Nelson Clan I mean after all it is...TRADITION.  Everyone was there but Mel and Brad who spent Christmas in Illinois ;( They had their own bowling day there with friends. (Way to go Mel for keeping up the tradition even though you were away.)  The kids LOVE spending time with their cousins and the adults don't have too bad of a time hanging out together either.  Another fun bowling day was a SUCCESS!!!
