A Dozen

Mitchell turned 12 this year!  That means this is the last teenager-free year in the Rogers' household for a long time.

He chose to have a friend come over, then I took he kids bowling.

 After playtime, presents, and cake, Mitchell and his friend rang in the new year before being herded off to bed.

Sleigh Bells

What a magical morning! There was much joy found underneath the wrapping paper today!  

Christmas Music

The 5th and 6th grade bands treated us to a night of music before school went of break.  It was very cool to hear them play!  Our very own clarinet player did quite nicely!

Zoom!

Skiing is like riding a bike for the Rogers kiddos.  We got a chance to hit the slopes and the kids picked up right where they left off.  They were zooming down the hill like they never left.

Tall, Tall Trees

For the past several years we have been blessed with Christmas trees from Dar Packer (a co-worker's dad).  Every year he picks out a beauty, and even delivers it to us Thanksgiving weekend.  This year proved no different.  Ken went through the usual acrobatics to string the lights and garland, then the kids and I added the ornaments.  Such fun!
