The kids had a blast making their Gingerbread Houses. I can see some beginning architectural skills. What do you think Papa?

Our Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas. It was nice to have everyone at our house to celebrate the holiday. Excitement filled the air on Christmas morning as the kids woke us up at 7:00 am. You may think that is early, but I remember a certain brother and sister that would get up much earlier than that when they were younger. Remember that, Eric?

The Christmas Tree Hunt....off to the woods we go

Ok - we didn't actually go into the woods, but made it to a tree farm. We had a good time riding in the hay wagon and picking out our Christmas Tree. Hailey wasn't too crazy about her "snowsuit".

Our Holiday Weekend in Lynchburg, Va!

We celebrated Thanksgiving & Christmas in the same weekend. The kids had a great time opening presents and spending time with their cousins. We are thankful for our family.

Who is that 10 year old?

Happy 10th Birthday Jordan! Dan & Jordan had a great time at the Michigan State Football game last Saturday even though it was a little chilly. We are so proud of the person you are becoming. Keep up the good work, Jordy! We love you.

Our 2400 mile Road Trip!

We had a great time on our trip -even though we spent a lot of time in the van - 2400 miles! We got to see family so that made the drive well worth it. We spent a couple of nights in South Carolina with my brothers' family. Hailey met her cousins for the 1st time.

A Burton Pointe Halloween!

We had a great time with our neighborhood friends. This year, we added "little bumble bee" Hailey to the group. Happy Halloween!

Go Green! Go White!

This was the chant that was repeated every time the Spartans scored against Michigan last Saturday(Jordan & Alyssa also did body slams). Hailey enjoys watching her big brother and big sister.

A Tradition Continues

A Fall Traditon

We had a great time in the pumpkin patch, watching the apples being made into cider, and getting lost in the corn maze.
