Somebody Turned 12 Years Old!

We dined at Pizza Karma, his choice. And, Colin opened the presents he received from the Weiher fam. He'll have a friends party this weekend and a MN family dinner the following weekend.

A lot of fun family time in MN and OH (where it was in the 60s!). At Tippie's for an early Christmas: Colin, Sydney, Lexi and Lucas wrote a Christmas rap and Miss Quinn sang Ba Ba Black Sheep and Twinkle Little Star.

At Wild Woods park. Syd said she loves Ohio,

"because it's so warm and so many people wear Ohio State stuff."

Sammy took to Uncle Bill.

Santa and Mrs. Claus

The first year that Colin didn't sit with the little kids to listen to Santa at the Preserve. Both he and Sydney did share some things on their list and sit for a photo. They won't tell me what Santa whispered to them. Hmm...

Feed My Starving Children

AJ arranged for everyone to volunteer a few hours at the non profit Feed My Starving Children. It provides funds and packaged goods to malnourished countries. The kids really enjoyed being a part of the activities and connected with the idea that they were helping others. Our 'team' worked well and we packed 10 boxes of food.. well, rice with 'vitamins'. Syd really liked the samples they provided at the end.
