{Family Life} New Year‘s Eve
We spent the day playing tennis in 35 degree weather We shopped for some treats and decorations, as the snow began. We prepared a nice dinner We played “minute to win it” type games. We then watched the rest of the Hawkeye series, and finished with the Nashville countdown. We barely made it to midnight! We toasted, and went to bed. Happy New Year!

{Family Life} Lights tour
One of our Christmas traditions is to drive around and see light displays. One of the local news stations put together a pretty impressive list.
{outdoor life} canyon hike
It was a little chilly (45 degrees) and very windy today, but once we climbed down into the canyon, it was very pleasant. We love hiking together, scrambling over rocks, and getting into nature. We finished 3.2 miles today—not one of our longer hikes, but it was really good to get out today. We didn’t get as many hikes with the girls this year, so it’s on our 2022 bucket list to take more hikes with the girls
{family life} ‘Twas the night before
We drove around to see the light displays, the girls opened their secret Santa gifts to each other, and it’s off to bed.
{Outdoor Life} 10K virtual
Hubby and I were supposed to run the Garmin Oz Half Marathon last April. Because it was on A’s 17th birthday, she also wanted to complete it. So we signed four of the girls up for the 10K, and we signed up for the half. Then, they postponed it to a day two of the girls would not be able to go. In response, we cancelled our half marathon (we don’t like running virtuals much), and switched the girls over…
{Field Experience} Christmas Choir Concert
We started attended our Church memorial weekend. I felt desperate to find a church again–after leaving our last church for “going woke” and dismissing actual biblical theology–and we started feeling isolated and without church family. Within weeks of finding the church, the girls had volunteered for VBS (and it was one of the best-run VBS camps the girls had ever participated in, or volunteered for) and then the church Music Retreat was announced. A and C both really wanted to…
