Russell Family Photo 2008

This is our Russell family photo for 2008 ... just realized I had it on a CD!

First Snow Fall

We got our first snow fall last night ... the boys couldn't wait to play in it.  There isn't any snow in the forecast next week, so I'm not sure how long it will stick around.

Thanksgiving Day 2008

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Kiriaka Family ... lots of food and fun!

Uncle David's Funeral

Uncle David passed away on Friday, November 21st. Kai and I traveled to Canada for the funeral service.  We enjoyed visiting with all our Russell cousins and relatives ... we'll miss our sweet Uncle David!

The Wall is Coming Down!

Well, we finally decided to tear the wall down in the basement to make one big room.  The boys thoroughly enjoyed the demolition.  I think we're going to like it!

Citizenship Awards

Every month each teacher chooses 2 students from their class to receive the "Citizenship Award".  Kai and Sam both got it for the month of October ... pretty cool!  They were surprised and excited!

The Ice Palace!

Kai went on a field trip to see the "Spokane Symphony" and then went skating at the "Ice Palace".  It was his first time on ice skates.  He had so much fun!
