Happy Birthday, Dad!







GEMS Activities

Anika is happily experiencing her first year in our church's GEMS Club (and my first as a counselor).  She has loved every minute of it.  Recently we had a few outing that I'm just now getting around to sharing.  At the end of January, we headed up to the mountains for a snow day.  Tubing and snow fun were on the docket.

Enjoying lunch with her good friend, Paige.
 We also had our annual Father/Daughter Night.  It was a "Minute to Win It" theme.  Couples were asked to dress in costume.  We were thinking of a cops/robbers theme when we found out that Anika's good friend, Raegan, and her dad were going as robbers.  So I sent my police detectives to track them down.  It was so much fun.  We made up a wanted poster for them to take to the event.  After dinner and games, the cops/robbers won the costume contest.  It was such a surprise, but so much fun.
