More San Diego Fun!

Found  some more SD pics....

Kamryn Turns 14

On December 21st, we got to celebrate a wonderful young woman who is our daughter, Kamryn. Kam is godly, thoughtful, and athletic. She gets excellent grades and is a force in athletics. Kam enjoys volleyball, softball and basketball. She is captain of her school softball team this year and is looking forward to the start of basketball. She is on student council and enjoys youth group at church. 

To celebrate we went go-carting and out for dinner at a steak place-Kam's favorite.

Kam's sweet friend, Casandra came with us.

Kamryn, we thank God for you! (I am, however, now a little worried about you getting your driver's license in a couple years after watching you on the race track. ;)

San Diego Get a Way

My parents treated us to a wonderful time at a beautiful hotel in San Diego just after Christmas. We had a relaxing time soaking up some sun, enjoying the pool and hot tubs, and making new friends (Troy). We missed Dan and Nesha and the kids, but still had a great time. Thanks, mom and dad!

Go Pats!

Troy was able to participate in his first tournament on his new soccer team this weekend.  The boys did great and Troy scored some nice goals.  Because it ended in a tie, their last game ended up going to penalty kicks, which is always exciting.  (They ended up out shooting the other team!)  The boys won every game in the tourney, but had fewer goal points than other teams, so took a strong third.  What a fun group of boys and families!  Go Pats!

Kristin's Birthday

December means Kristin gets to celebrate another birthday! ;) Scott went above and beyond this year and surprised me with tickets to The Lion King at the Pantagious Theater in Hollywood. We had a wonderful evening (after dealing with some nasty traffic) taking in an incredible performance at a historic place. What a fun experience!

December Doings

I'm making an effort to overcome some technical difficulties and get the blog caught up for the faithful followers who are curious about the December activities of the Elgersma family. :)

Troy came in second in the Elks hoop shoot contest. (This is perfect because the first place winner has to go on to compete at another place and time. The second place winner still gets a sweet trophy, but does not need to go anywhere else.)

 The stage crew for the school Christmas program dressed up in Duck Dynasty costumes.

 Troy played handbells in the church Christmas program.

We enjoyed having Katie home from college. One of her highlights, I'm sure, of being home was that she got to lead the Bingo game at Troy's class Christmas party.

The kids had some wii tournaments.

Katie and Scott led worship with our friend, Ryan one Sunday.

 There was a trip to Bass Pro shop and a production of "What does the donkey say?" which involved much rehearsal time, but was successful in the end.

 The deacons dinner is always fun with great entertainment!

 

And of course there are always sports going on...Kam is playing softball for school (yes, in December and January! Love it!) and Scott and Troy finished up their AYSO season, coming in first place.

 Many activities that we were blessed to be a part of!
