December 2013 and January 2014

So as usual I am going to post the rest of the month's pictures and activities and then move in to the new year. Jill had her dance recital which she wore a jingle bell skirt and danced a great performance. The next day we went to the Arboretum for their Illumination event. It was very cool and interactive, hugging trees to make them light up, seeing our faces projected in lights on the trees, going for a winter hike, warming by the fires, and at the end finding our luminary in remembrance of Joshua. The following day was our first Christmas exchange with Auntie Miya, Uncle Mark, Nathan, and Jake. The following Friday we were already at the last day of school before break so Jill had her Christmas program. Christmas Eve: Christmas Day: Jill's Birthday party and birthday: New Year's Eve at Auntie and Uncle Chris' house: New Year's Day skating with the Soles: Jan. 4 Auntie's birthday, but also Jill's first ER visit when she poked her eye really badly by breaking sunglasses and snapping them in her eye on her way to dance class, a late Christmas get together with Miklautsch family and their little ones, Jill started karate, and Joey started Lego Builders club! (I will get the other pictures up, for some reason I can't embed them and I need Phil to figure out this stuff!)
