Family fun at Tgiving and Christmas


Ok, some updating.  I made it through 1/2 of November....so let me get you to the end of the year:

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was warm and wily with 4 little ones rolling about.  The cousins had big fun playing together at Granny and Gramps' house.

they have discovered the computer...sigh.


Greta & Evelyn...our most cooperative and cheesy picture takers!

Wes and Amelia...harder to capture (yes, this was the best one of the 2 of them)

Gramps/Granny reading time was a big hit every night.



DECEMBER
Greta did some singing with the Cherub Choir to ring in Advent


 Greta had a few friends from Kindergarten over to decorate cookies to get in the Christmas spirit.
Wessy snuggled Aunt Jayne

 We got a cute Christmas photo (AFTER the Christmas cards were purchased, of course)
 It SNOWED and so Greta and Remi hit the slopes in Grandma's backyard.
 Greta made the snowman she had been planning for over a year (not enough snow last year)
 She played in the snow for 2 1/2 hours...Minnesota girl!
 Wes wasn't so sure

My snow bunnies
Greta in her first/last dance recital.
Grandma held Wes during the big performance...














Christmas celebrations...there were many and they were happy.
Dubs skipped his nap so he could bowl too, so this is what he looked like at 4pm.

Greta was the present elf at Grandpa's house

Wes and cousin Noah play pretty well together...unless a school bus is involved.

Greta and Kelly

Grandpa, Kelly and the Grandbabies

Aunt Jayne spent Christmas eve with us again and you can see that this made G and W all smiles.

Christmas Morning.  Santa was madly appreciated this year. 
The mad dash

A brief summary of Wes's presents: Legos and trucks

A brief summary of Greta's: My Little Pony

We spent Christmas Day at Grandma's house.  Greta shared her book about herself with us that she and Grandma made.

Our best attempt at a family shot.  Yeah, this was the "winner" out of the bunch.

We'll post some funny videos from the last month or so here for your amusement too.

We hope 2013 is a happy year for you!
Love, the preacher's family
