An Art Adventure



Naomi is redecorating the bathroom in their renovated church. She took some old Bibles and decopauged them on the doors. Then she is tiling the walls with pennies. These are pictures of the work although it is not finished yet. It is something to see.

After Christmas Fun


After Christmas we had some family fun. The library had a lego day and we all made something. Then we went minature golfing and played at the mall. At home the girls played Barbies, Grandma made a Tebow sweater for Friday, and Rocket & Elise helped to make "roll - up" pancakes.







Christmas Celebrations

After our trip to Oregon we stayed in Denver with Matthew for Christmas. We went to his church for Christmas Eve Candlelight service. Then we came home for a puppet show by Roxanne. christmas morning brought many gifts, all the men getting Tebow shirts. Then we joined Sarah for dinner, presents and pictures.






Oregon Trip


We took a quick trip to Portland where we hosted a small family gathering. My 2 sisters and their families came for lunch, and an afternoon of talking and picture taking.

Christmas Angel


This Christmas Elise was an angel in her church Christmas play. Then we took a family photo at their church.

Sewing & a Christmas Photo

We were babysitting this weekend and Elise wanted to sew some buttons into a necklace. She really enjoyed the activity, and intently picked out her favorite buttons and sewed them together while Corinna just liked to play in the buttons!
The last is a picture of Gary & I at our Christmas gathering with our Bible Study. I need to get a new outfit as I think that I have worn the same one for the last 4 years or so!

Thanksgiving & Birthday

Thanksgiving & Gary's Birthday always seem to run together. I didn't get too many pictures from Thanksgiving, but here are a few. We made our family tradition, pull apart bread for breakfast and Roxanne helped me set the table.
The next week we met at a restaurant for Gary's Birthday. These are the cards that Rocket & Roxanne made for him. I think everyone had a ggod time but Corinna. She is not happy in this family photo!
