December 2013 Part 2

Week 3...

On Monday, my Women of Worth group went caroling in a snowstorm, then enjoyed fellowship at Pizza Hut!

We took a weeknight to enjoy a fantastic Christmas concert by The Annie Moses Band. We were in revival in the fall when they came to Lima, so we had to wait a little longer. I'm sure glad we waited! The Christmas concert was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

The boys' class went sledding one afternoon...

We celebrated Christmas with my immediate family...

Kaitlynn was so proud of the sugar scrub she made for Mama!

Christmas chaos!

Didn't get a family photo at Christmas,
but this was just a few weeks earlier.

So good to be with family, even if just for a few hours. :-)

December 2013 Part 1

Week 1...

Monday morning...1st day of gun season...Greg took a vacation day and the boys took a half day out of school. The reward...

December 2, 2013

Then, a couple of days later, the little gal said she could hear the ocean in her ear. I didn't think that was good, and the dr confirmed it by saying that Allison's ear was infected to the point of the drum bursting! It took several days for her to get back to normal, and we are very thankful that the drum didn't burst.

We wrote letters to Santa...

We enjoyed a Christmas craft show, a Christmas parade, Christmas decor popping up all around, and snow falling every few days!

Week 2...

The kids participated in the Christmas drama, "Christmas At Hope Central" at the school.

We had a fun afternoon at school to celebrate a successful fundraiser...

Unlimited popcorn, hot chocolate, and Veggie Tales Christmas!

We traveled to MI to celebrate Christmas, Dad Burley's 70th birthday, and the arrival of our new great-nephew, Maverick James Funk.

Kaitlynn couldn't get enough.

Evan loved Baby Maverick

Happy great uncle!

Our great-niece, Emma Jean

He's perfect. :-)

The kids were thrilled to go four-wheeling in the snow!

And that's a glimpse into the first part of our December!

Happy 14th Birthday, Ryan!

So...I'm waaaay behind in blogging, but I'll be working on getting things caught up today!

On November 19th, Ryan celebrated his 14th birthday. We're still a little stunned that we're old enough to parent a kid this age, but time moves on.

He had a great birthday. Enjoy the photos!

Coffee shop stop on the way to school...
