Christmas Re-Cap


There were gifts under the tree on Christmas morning :)  Our kids did stockings, then we had breakfast and read through the last day of our Advent devotional, then we did the rest of our gifts.







We changed out of Christmas pjs and went to my mom's for Christmas lunch and presents with my family. Connor gets the award for best reactions I think! :)




We relaxed on the 26th at home (had my sister and her family for lunch) and then headed to Kevin's dad's house for the weekend. We opened gifts on Thursday night with Mark and JungMin







On Friday we saw Kevin's mom, who has moved to a nursing home. The kids like going there to visit and we got to sing and walk around with her. It was a good visit.

Saturday evening the Tipton's came over and gave gifts - Kevin declared his the "best gift" ….and had used it a lot already ;)


Sunday after church we left for home. And friends who were also driving home stopped at our place to break up their drive. How wonderful to have friends you've known for a while...and now have kids that are friends with your kids. It was fun to see them and to see our kids having such a good time together.

The Hoffmans came down for New Years Eve. Bill treated us to homemade donuts in the morning and the guys compared beards ;)  (Kevin grew this goatee over break, Bill's beard is a regular thing).


Good thing it was only a 3-day school week, because we had a busy break! Last weekend we started with Bible Study on Friday, relaxing Saturday, and got to watch Mary Poppins Returns after church! :)  I loved the movie and Kevin loved that his football team won their game...what an exciting Sunday.

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
