Wenatchee

We met Marty, Xuan, Lincoln, Martin, Barb and Becky at a cabin in Wenatchee to have some winter fun. Snow shoeing, XC skiing and the kids first time downhill skiing at Mission Ridge. The kiddos loved it. Here are some photos from Aunt Becky. Chamber clan will download photos from our camera soon.

Holiday Fun

We have some fun holiday traditions. The Nutcracker Ballett, Manito Lights. And Christmas Tree Elegance - and Aunt Siree was in town for our visit to The Davenport! to check out all of the Xmas trees







Golden Hero

Matthew was selected by his class to earn the Golden Hero award. He won a book for himself and a new set of reading books for his class.




Gingerbread Party

Every year we build a gingerbread house, then invite the neighbor kids to come over and ruin it, then eat it. Fun, fun, fun!




EWU Championship Game

Right before Xmas, we got to go to the EWU conference semi-finals with our good friends Nick, Julie and Noah.

3 minutes of fame

Matthew's hockey team had a chance to play 3 minutes of 3-on-3 at the Chiefs hockey game this December. Matt had a huge smile on his face the whole time!

Fall Catch-up

Fall went by super fast.  Here's a quick summary:

Matt's 8th Bday:
It was a slumber party. We had sushi for dinner. Then to Doyles for dessert. Then attempted to sleep.

This is Matt's pumpkin that won most creative in the Holmes pumpkin contest.

WSU Game:
We took the kids to their first really big college ball game. It was cold - 23 degrees - but we had fun!
