Merry Christmas to you all! Ethan wanted to break it down for you on Christmas Eve, and told me to put this on the "blog" for you. I think he takes after his dad!

WINTER WONDERLAND!
Today we went deep into the Colorado Mountains to find out what type of elevation and temperatures our bodies could take. With us on this scientific adventure were Angie's dad, "pop" or "coach" and mom "Moo" or "MaMoo". Our travels took us through unbelievable country covered with snow. A true winterwonderland. Our first stop was at Breckenridge, where we took some photos and got some coffee. It was so cold that boogers were frozen outside of the nostril as they tried to make their run to the lips - couldn't make it - too cold. Winter stopped these nasties dead in their tracks, between the nostril and lip. The coffee was exceptional - probably because we were numb.
We then made our way to Keystone, Colorado where we hit the slopes on a tube. Nobody crashed and noone was injured or hurt. Even "Pop" let her rip down some of Colorado's tamest powder snow and inclines. Levi also enjoyed a run down the hill. The only problem was, as you will see from the photos, you had to pull the tube back up the hill - which at 10,000 feet altitude is no spring picnic. I'm glad I had GatorAde in the car!
Another great photo below is Ethan and I getting ready for a tube run and Levi charging the hill solo without a tube! Don't worry, Pop caught him before he did the luge.
After that, it was to Keystone Lake for some old fashion ice skating. Ethan showed us all up. I think this will be even more clear after you watch the video. I don't think you're supposed to know what color skates the cameraperson is wearing!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas from cold, cold Colorado!

Ethan's 4th Birthday
Today we celebrated with Ethan as he turned 4! He had a big day and we had his party at Focus on the Family. Ethan had a firefighter party and had a blast. Several of his friends came to play and celebrate with him. After his birthday party he got to go to the Air Force Basketball game. Thanks to all who sent him presents. He loves them all!
A bonus performance from Levi on Stage at the end!
Merry Christmas from the Thompsons!

December is Here!
December is here and we are anxiously awaiting Ethan's birthday as well as the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ! We are amazed at this gift that God sent to all of us - the same God who slung the stars and galaxies into the sky and created us - born in a manger! Every year it is mind blowing.
Ethan and Levi recently went to a birthday party of a friend from a family in our small group. He had his party at a kids gym and Levi fit right in, even though he was one of the youngest. You'll get a kick out of the video as he tries to act like a big kid.
Right now we are in the middle of a snow storm. This morning the skies were clear and we all went outside to play in the snow. Merry Christmas!
