Beginning of last year, after reading Terri's list we made a list of things we wanted to accomplish on our property. My list isn't quite as long as hers but we have a few less acres than she does;)The list can seem overwhelming but at the end of the year it is nice to see things got crossed off.

Christmas Recap

Christmas started the week before with the childrens program where there were several kids singing solos and duets. Jordan and Jocelyn sang a duet together. Mama's tummy was a ball of nerves.(sorry about the red eye)

The day after the childrens program we started to get sick. By Christmas eve Rob and I had been in bed a few days. Neither one of us had a voice and when we did we coughed. So the reading of Luke in the Bible was read by Jordan.

Me on Christmas morning, I was trying to keep oatmeal down;)

Rob on Christmas morning, he was freezing and after the presents were opened we both headed back to bed.

New friend, hope it won't stay long.

We found some a new friend this week and it immediately moved in with us. Some of us have taken to it more than others. We are hoping it won't stay long because it has already been here all week and we really aren't enjoying it. It even brought their friends, can you image?? How Rude can you be??

They have totally taken over our kitchen!!

And the Bathroom!!

Yep, and right before Christmas to make sure all of our plans get ruined. Thanks friend, thanks a lot!

Flu is the name of our friend I hope it stays away from your house!

O' CHRISTmas Tree

Yep we have one of those...an artificial Christmas Tree. We love the smell of fresh but like the price of this one. We bought it from a friend about 7 years ago, for $25. I think we have gotten our money out of it;) The kids enjoy putting it up so much, we just let them do it, hahaha. Rob and I just sit back and snap pictures.

Redneck Sledding Rob Style

The kids finally got their wish today. They wait all year for this and start talking about it in September when the weather cools down. Rob has just as much fun as the kids.
