Cousin Are Fun!

Ally and Bobby came to visit

We took Ally and Bobby to the Childrens Park







We made cookies for the new family that just moved into the neighborhood.

Our "mini" lighthouse tour.

We started in Port Huron and we made it to the tip of the "thumb", seeing about half a dozen lighthouses along the way. It took all day and we really enjoyed the unusually warm weather that was in the 40's. We did a few geo-caches also. Number 100 being the first for the day and our life in Michigan.








This was a really nice day....it does make this mom reflect on how much our lives will change, and what a huge hole there will be when our three wonderful children are no longer taking these little excursions with us, when they have grown and left the nest. We have a lot of fun together doing these kinds of things. God is so good to us!

Merry Christmas!

One Fine Day

One day coming home from the mall I got lost, but I found this awesome place! The deer are wild but they will come running when you start throwing food over the fence. So I took the whole family back.






We have a Childrens Park in our Downtown area, the duck are always excited to have visitors.

Canterbury Village

These guys sang really well.






Yes...we ate ice cream, and it was good.

Decorating our tree.

We love decorating the tree. Todd does the lights, and we all put our "special" ornaments on ourselves.
This was our prettiest tree ever!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree.....

This year we went to Nicholas Tree Farm to find and cut our own tree. We had a lot of fun, and it was a real pretty farm.



They took us on a hay ride to a drop off spot .







"I think I found one!"




Bree found the perfect tree.



We all came running!



Todd (with a little help from the boys)cut down the tree.



What a manly man!

Grandpa and Grandma came to see us.

Here the kids are with Bob at our new favorite restaurant, CJ's Diner.

The snow came too early for a white Christmas!

Kindof a blurry picture but this is off the front porch.
