Holidays 2013

What a busy season it was!  We participated in many traditions and made a few new ones this year.  I didn't want this Christmas to pass without at least mentioning it and showing a few highlights of our time.  We had some high highs and some low lows this year but we are grateful for all that we have.  Our family of four is so blessed and thankful to have each other and a working relationship with Jesus Christ.  He is the only thing that is constant in our lives....He NEVER changes or lets us down.
We pray you had a wonderful Christmas celebration!!!!


4th Annual Ugly Sweater Party!!!



Annual donut making party! Yum!

Stettin School Christmas concert!  Nice job girls.  We are so proud of you!

Christmas Eve with Grandma and PapPap.  We had a wonderful time with them.  We opened presents, went out for breakfast, hung out and played and then went to Derek's Aunt Sheila's for a feast of all feasts!!!!  What a highlight!
 


Christmas morning with Grandma and Grandpa.  Thanks for a cozy Christmas morn.

One of the main reasons I wanted to visit Ohio for Christmas this year is this little lady!  It was so great to spend Christmas with my Grandma Hilda.  We love you!!!! (and Grandpa too)



This was definitely one of my favorite moments of the trip.  Dinner at the best fish market, getting cookie pops and just hanging out with my niece, Hayley!  Loved it!!!!
