Christmas Time

It has been great having my family up here in Michigan for Christmas! We have already been visited by Santa, who left stockings full of all kinds of stuff. The kids have enjoyed what little snow we have, and spent an evening (with lights on the hill next to the house) and some of the next morning, outside sledding. "What Were You Thinking" was the hit game last night as we enjoyed gaming. This morning...Zack, Caleb and I hit the woods...hoping to get Zack his first deer (and on video), but could not quite pull it off. Maybe next time...

Pre-Christmas Family Time

With Emily home and the boys out of school, they have been hanging out and finding things to do. Hunting squirrels has been one of their activities, and most of the others have been inside and either TV or computer related. What was life like before facebook, cell phones, etc??? Serious question...I can hardly remember... What did we do back in the good ole days? Help me remember...

Oh Christmas Tree

This is our first year to get our Christmas tree without Emily (so sad). I think God understands these things...cause we "just happened" to run into Matt, Judy and Travis getting their tree at the same time and same place as us..."just happened" to run into them...NOT...(thank you God for our family ...and for how you work in many ways !!!)
