Happy New Year!

The boys made it to midnight and had fun with poppers to ring in the new year. Hope you all have a great 2010!

The boys were getting tired with about 15 minutes to go

Christmas Festivities

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent with various family members and friends. The younger people acted out the nativity and the boys made very good shepherds. After hosting Christmas Eve, Christmas breakfast, and Christmas dinner I am happy to say that I have not made any food since Christmas Day. Maybe tomorrow I will bake some wheat bread. I have unpacked and washed my new wheat grinder so I am ready to grind some fresh wheat.

Merry Christmas!

It has been a busy week! Since I am tired and ready for bed I will just post a few pictures from the past week.

Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful...

We have had a couple of big snow storms the last few days. The most recent left us with wet, heavy snow that was perfect for making snowmen. Unfortunately, the rain that came today erased the great sledding hill that the snowplow had made earlier in the week. But I'm sure there will be many more sledding hills to come in the next months.
