Christmas Greetings 2007

We hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas celebrating Jesus' birthday. Isaiah 9:6 says, "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us...and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." Our prayer this holiday season is that you know this Son and the words/names describing Him! MERRY CHRISTMAS

Baaah Humbug

Church's Christmas program ~

Even though they don't look it they did have fun!

Of course there was nose picking again this year.

Programs at Little Lambs daycare/preschool. She was an Angel

and there was no nose picking.

Christmas Traditions

We've cut our own tree ever since we got married.

Karlee gets to do the star and even has a tree in her bedroom.

Newest tradition - Mommy did most of the decorating

and Karlee ate the candy.


Fun making cookies - Sierra even wanted to get in on it.

Santa Day in Clear Lake

Every December for atleast the last 20 years Clear Lake has a Santa Day where kids can come and see Santa and go on sleigh rides. My family has thoroughly enjoyed doing the sleigh rides with our team even in the sub zero years. There is also a bonfire to sit around to keep warm. The mares are called Lady and May and Karlee loves them.

Thanksgiving in St. Louis

Fun visit with Great Grandparents

Hugs and fun with cousin Kaylyn

Actual Thanksgiving meal & Sierra with cousin Claire

As always good times with Grampy and Grammy

Couldn't get enough hugs from the Uncles

Deer Hunting Tradition

This is one of Todd's favorite photo traditions. It is fun to see how life changes each year.

Family Matters

3rd Birthday Party

Dora is a favorite!

So many presents she didn't know what to do

She got a strike on her first try

The kitchen that took Daddy 2 hours to put together but the look on her face when she took the sheet off made it all worth it!

Decorating cupcakes for daycare/preschool since her actual birthday was on the one day a week she goes.

Birthday Outing With Mommy and Daddy

We took just Karlee to the Children's Museum and had a wonderful day. She just adores Curious George. We stopped for lunch and told our watress it was her birthday and she got a HUGE ice cream sundae.

What Do I Want To Do When I Grow Up?

I could ride Boomer in the rodeo or be a pilot...

I could work at the zoo with the animals or

be a wheel barrel racer in the circus with Daddy...

Or I could be a quarterback for the Packers and

beat the Vikings again 34 to 0 !!!
