Makayla's Soccer and Snow Tubing Day

Well we asked Makayla what sport she would really like to start in Jan. and guess what she picked Soccer, that is something we put her in at a young age and she has really enjoyed it. Here is from the first day of Soccer already showing her stuff and just had so much fun!!!

Here is her coach showing her an easier way to stand the cones up with her feet!!


A picture of my Soccer Star smiling cuz she's so happy to be doing what she loves!!!

We took Makayla up to Mt. Spokane's new tubing hill with some of her friends Brevin and Rhyan Harris and she had a complete blast. You tube down the hill and then the toe rope brings you back up. By the end of the 3 hours she had it figured out and didn't really need Mom and Dad's help anymore. She keeps asking when we can go back up. We are going to start her in Snow skiing this year as well. She should get lots of practice when we go and stay up at Schweitzer for President's Day week at a condo.

Christmas and the start of a brand NEW YEAR 2010~

Well we had a great Christmas here at the Hickman household. We started our events with Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Hickman's, then off to Christmas Eve service at Redemeer this year and ended at Greg and Donna's for the evening. They kids were so excited and all Madison could talk about was SANTA. The girls of course got spoiled rotten from their G and G Hickman and Auntie and Uncle Hickman. Bob actually made the girls a M and M Theater for them to put on a puppet show. Wow they both love it so much! Then came Christmas Day and all Makayla wanted from Santa was a Yo-Yo wow she is so easy. They both had a great Christmas from Santa, Mommy and Daddy and then Grandma and Grandpa Gale came over in the afternoon and once again they got spoiled from them as well, lots of cute clothes, toys and personalizied ornaments that Grandma does every year for them. Makayla got a real makeup kit from her Auntie Jaclyn and Uncle Brandon that she actually screamed when she opened it she was so EXCITED!!!!

We ended our festivites with a light meal that included Ham, Potatoes Romanoff, salad, rice and Christmas cookies for dessert!! What a wonderful and Healthy Christmas that we all had together as a family. We look foward to what the New Year will be bringing us!!
