Christmas at Fellowship

Almost every year, we take pictures at Christmastime at the cross at Fellowship. Here are the 2014 pics:

2013 with Jenna--you might recognize the coat that Ashley wore this year. ;)

2012 -- Adams and Shrewsburys

2009--They were so little!

What a great Chritmas! Everyone was home. The weather was pleasant. The kids were mostly well behaved. My favorite part of the morning was playing Fischer Family Jeopardy. Thanks again, Amanda! Categories included "It's a Trap", "Outlaws and Inlaws", and "Fischer University". I'll take F.U. for $500. :)

Fischer Family Bowling

Christmas Morning

Belated "Merry Christmas" from the Adams Family! Santa got a little out of control this year.

AFTER

The latest addition to the family: Nugget the guinea pig. Ash loves him already. We are nervous about him surviving past his 14 day guarantee. The 27¢ goldfish we bought in 2004 lived for 4 years, so who knows!

Nathan got his first phone. Here's the first of many selfies taken this weekend.

Getting Ready for Christmas

After a busy fall, we have settled down long enough to get everything ready for Christmas. Presents bought and wrapped. House mostly decorated. We have added some ornaments to the tree in the last couple of years. Everything from sentimental (special memorial ornament honoring Bill Leslie) to silly (frog with jazz hands from UCA Christmas party) and LOTS of travel ornaments (Canada to Grand Cayman).

3rd Grade Christmas Party

Snitch is back! Mostly he just moves from shelf to shelf, but he has made a few special displays this year. Ashley continues to write several letters a week to Santa to be delivered by Snitch. She is sure to ask about the reindeer and Mrs. Claus.

Veterans Day at Arlington

Big Day in D.C. - Part 2

We wrapped up our last full day by walking all the way down the mall to WWII Memorial. This was my first time to see this memorial, and I thought it was beautiful. We then made our way to the Lincoln Memorial at sunset. We then met up with Meme and Pop at the Vietnam Wall.
