Traveling

We enjoyed spending Christmas with Grandma Hunt and Poppy! We also enjoyed traveling to and from St Louis. We stayed in hotels with pools and even had the opportunity to stop at the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, MO! Love, Jessie

Games in St Louis






One afternoon we went and enjoyed ourselves with some games nearby. The kids loved the tickets they were getting and we even enjoyed a game of laser tag! The highlight of the day was when Jack decided he would try to win an angry bird with one of those claw machines. I have always told the kids those eat your money and are a waste of time. The next thing I know, Jack is screaming and telling the story with the most happiness and excitement I have ever seen. He put his coin in the machine and the claw was hanging onto his red angry bird by a tiny bit and then it just dropped in and he won it!!!!!! Congrats Jack! Love, Jessie

Merry Christmas

We were able to spend Christmas in St Louis this year! We loved seeing Grandma Hunt and Poppy and the kids were happily surprised that Santa knew where to go to find them! Love, jessie



Ruidoso, NM


Greg came for a visit and we enjoyed spending time together. We were able to head to Ruidoso, NM and get a cabin and spend a day tubing. The kids were very brave taking runs with jumps and Jack going by himself a few times! Love, Jessie

Thanks Mom


A special Thank-you to my Mom. She flew down to Clovis, NM just to help me drive to Chicago to see everyone for the holidays and then she drove with us back to Clovis and flew home, whew! We all loved spending so much time with her and appreciate her for her many gifts. THANK-YOU!!! Love, Jessie, Maddie, Eleanor, Jack, Brody and Bobster

Girl Scout Christmas Lights Parade
























Clovis has a Christmas Lights Parade every year and our Girl Scout Troop was able to make a float and freeze, laugh and smile all the way through the town. It was in the 30's so the girls were troopers. Maddie even coordinated the girls saying "Merry Christmas" every time she counted to 3, so fun! Love, Jessie

Santa, Santa, Santa


We enjoyed Breakfast with Santa this morning! There were wonderful crafts and we met our friends there and had a blast!










































These pictures are from the base Kids Christmas Party. It was cold so no one wanted to take their coats off but I must say, Jack was happily surprised to see the "Same" Santa at the breakfast with Santa the next morning(above pictures). He even came over to me and said, "wow, I even got to meet Mrs. Claus!" Merry Christmas! Jessie

Maddie's Play
























Maddie has been part of a play company and has been practicing a play since September. Nov 29th was her big night! Maddie's character was Annie and she did a wonderful job! She knew her lines and you could tell she was having fun! Great job Maddie, Love, Jessie

LEAVES


When we returned from Chicago, the weather was beautiful and our yard was covered in leaves! Jack and I enjoyed raking them and playing in them. Love, Jessie
