Other Pre-holiday activities

Presley transitioned from band to Choir this year at school. She had her first choir concert in early December followed by a concert at the Mall of America. While she is still finding her voice, she has enjoyed the transition from band to choir this year!




Mom continues her involvement with Chicks with Wicks. We continued our annual holiday sale. While we didn't really make money, we did recoup some of our expenses for the year and we always have fun together as friends!

"Fall" Out of Town Hockey Tournaments

This "fall", the kids each had an out of town hockey tournament. Mom traveled with Canyon's Bantam AA team traveled to Duluth the weekend of December 2-4. Mom and Canyon had some nice bonding time. And the boys won the tournament with a huge win over long term rival Edina!




Presley's 12UA team traveled to Grand Rapids, MN the weekend of December 9-11. Because it was Dad's birthday weekend, both Ron and Trisha came to be with Presley and celebrate Ron's 50th birthday. Before we left the Twin Cities, we enjoyed a nice family celebration with Canyon. Ron's birthday celebration continued with the girls singing to him at lunch, bringing him a cake after one of the games, and making a huge sign that they presented to him after one of their games on the ice. While the weekend was not a winning weekend for the girls, it was a well celebrated birthday weekend for Ron.

Thanksgiving 2016

Grammie and Aunt Kimmy traveled to MN for Thanksgiving this year. It was a short but quality visit. Ron and Trisha prepared for Thanksgiving by purchasing our first free range Turkey from local Ferndale Farms in Cannon Falls. The weekend was also filled with hockey, fun games, and good food and drink. Thanks for making the road trip to MN. Looking forward to Christmas with them too!
