December 2023

Vance's buddy Blake had the boys over for his birthday.

They went to Airmaxx & had a good time hanging out at Blake's house.

They played the Beanboozeled game where the jelly belly beans taste GROSS!

Spending family time at 3 bears at Holiday Inn in Baxter.  Uncle Danny & Aunt Robin were also there with Chad & Ryan & family.  It was a fun time chatting & watersliding together!

Chad & I went down on a double tube & we tanked it at the bottom! haha

Family movie nights together are the best!

Vivienne with Santa

Vance won $20 at youth night at a varsity bball game.

He had 30 seconds to make a layup, free throw, 3 pointer (& $100 if he made a half court shot)!

Vance was recognized for the basketball shot club - 10,000 shots in 4th grade.

Viv & Remy after their music concert.

December is very busy with 3 in basketball. 

 So every weekend we spend at a gym playing a tournament somewhere!

Viv & I made a gingerbread house & she got to pick a free book from the library.

Sugar cookies!

Watching some bball with friends.

In between bball breaks someone is always shooting hoops.

Christmas High School band concert with the HS choir too!

Church Christmas Program.

Vivienne was a star this year!

We made a trip down to Danube to visit Grandpa & Grandma Herdina.

Lisa, Nathan & Robyn & cousins came to hang out & order Godfather's pizza!

Vance opened his Christmas gift from Aunt Lisa & he got a Vikings jersey!  Exactly what he wanted!

We always spend a night driving around looking at Christmas lights.  

This year we found a few really good ones!

We also ran through the lit arch at the library.

Christmas Eve...our favorite day of winter.

We got the kids a snowcone machine & had to use it right away!

Johnson Christmas!  It was not spent at Holiday Inn this year, but we had a great time on the farm.

Adler played his 1st USTA match at Rogers Tennis Club.

At the end of Christmas break we go north to celebrate New Years!

Belle relaxin at the cabin for Christmas.

Out for food & music at the Sidetrack.

Shoveling the lake for some skating.

We also stopped at 5G Distillery for a couple drinks.

We came home to more food & drinks & games with the kids.
