Basketball started a couple of weeks ago and Drew is feeling it. He thought soccer was pretty fun too, but he seems to really feel the love for Basketball. So far we have had two games and he has made at least one basket per game, which is pretty cool. 
Very blurry shot of Drew going in for a basket.
It is fun watching him be competitive and really go after the ball.................even if he tries to take it from his own team members.
Grandma carrying one of her 3 foot sparklers to bring in the New Year. Notice her slipper flip flops for the freezing Idaho winter eve. You may also notice Drew's shoeless feet just behind her. 
The kiddies stayed up with us until the midnight hour and then settled in to bed after our midnight celebrations. Happy New Year everyone! We had a great night, it just went by way too fast!
Since today is January 16th, I thought I should finally get around to posting our Christmas and New Year festivities in Idaho at Grandma and Grandpa Moss's house.
Drew's favorite present was his electric train from Santa-that thing was running almost non-stop for the rest of Christmas Day.
Sommey's favorite gift from Santa was her fancy Sleeping Beauty dress with jewelry and shoes. As Drew's train was continually chugging down the tracks, so was she forever prancing around the house in her lovely gown.

AFTER: A ONCE EMPTY SPACE WITH A BIT MORE PIZAZZ
Greatest thing about this needed update is that I already had the paint and my Mom gave me the canvas. So, total cost for this project was $$FREE.99$$
We had a very Happy Thanksgiving with the Nestman clan. We all ate, chatted and laughed a lot. I cooked my first Thanksgiving turkey and it actually turned out really tasty. So, I was very Thankful for that. 
We were Thankful that Lo carved the turkey for us and Janyce supplied MANY yummy dishes for the meal.
Who would have known I would be hangin' with Kenny Loggins last night? Lo was given some free tickets from Zion's, so we decided to make a night of it. We went and had a great dinner and then headed to the concert. My knowledge of his music includes the song from Footloose, and that Pooh Corner children's song. Now, I loved the movie Footloose so I was hoping he would get that song in, which he did. It really was a fun concert and I learned that he sings a lot of familiar songs that I didn't know were his. We got a backstage pass and even got to chat with him for a minute or two. He was a nice guy and really did put on a great show. So Kenny, Lo and I are tight now. Make sure to keep your eyes and ears open for his next hit dedicated to us. 
Drew started playing in an indoor soccer league a couple of weeks ago. I do have to admit his indoor soccer has been a little more fun to watch than his Fall games with the Killer Bees for a few reasons:
