White Christmas

It's a Christmas Miracle!

We are not complaining down here of our 'White Christmas' It is amazing to have all this snow. We have had two significant snowfalls this month, once on the 5th, which melted after a few days and then the last one this past weekend kept us busy digging out of 16 inches of snow. We have loved how beautiful it has made everything and the kids have enjoyed playing, digging and going for sled rides!

It has taken Ethan awhile to 'enjoy' the snow but he is coming around

Kaden can't get enough of it!

We have been having a lot of fun and hope that as this snow melts we will be able to make a snowman

Brian looked down the hill and saw Kaden riding his bike. He was going to check out where daddy had plowed! He told us that he wants a plow on the front of his bike.

Merry Christmas to all of you!!

"For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6

Trusting that each of you find Christ near to your hearts as you celebrate His birth

and what impact that had for generations to come

Double Birthday

It is a very important day in this neck of the woods.....

Birthday wishes are going out to Brian's sister Melanie today! She sure loves hotdogs!!!! Happy Birthday Melanie!!!

Also, little did she know that for many of her birthdays (I will leave that number unmentioned) she was also celebrating mine. I guess that was one of Brian's prerequisites for his wife!

So yes, today I will also celebrate my special day with the fam and a little time to myself. Happy Birthday to me!

Today our precious Kaden turns 4, hard to believe!!! Happy Birthday Kbud!

You may ask, Where have you been? Well, we've been here, just a little disconnected from the world since our computer crashed. I think now we are on the road to recovery.

November was a great month, and we had a good Thanksgiving with lots of fantastic food and fellowship. As soon as thanksgiving ended we hit Christmas preperation with a running stride.

We headed to our local tree farm and cut down the perfect tree for our house. Last year it was pouring rain, this year a beautiful day....the only thing that would have made it seem a little more like Christmas would have been snow!

Here the boys are measuring a tree (actually it looks like there fighting over the measuring tape)

Kaden found this beauty?!!??

Lot's of trees to choose from

Every party has a pooper......

Finally, there she is, our 2009 tree
