Preparing for Christmas

The boys all helped with decorating the Christmas tree! At the very moment we were finished and sat to admire how festive it looked, Levi took one tug on the strand of beads and pulled it completely off. It made me realize that it was going to be pretty hard to keep the beads and the ornaments on the tree. :) But now that a couple of weeks have passed, I have to say that it's not as much of a battle as I thought it was going to be. Our tree is still standing and it brightens my mood to see it lit.




Daddy was outside with the boys this afternoon. Daddy was working hard to make a good looking snowman and the boys were doing a good job trying to distract him and knock it over.














I was attempting to get a nice picture of the boys in front of the Christmas tree. Levi sat for a couple pictures and this was the best one. :)

Thankful!!!

SO MANY REASONS to be thankful this Thanksgiving! We were able to drive out for the long weekend and stay at mom and dad's house. The best part about it was that the Lamfers were also able to stay for the long weekend! Rodney was doing wonderfully! Praise the Lord!

Grandpa was so excited to see Dorian and Levi get their very first ride on a combine! Dorian was just as excited when he got back to grandpa and grandma's house to tell us all about how he got to help "pick torn (corn)".


We enjoyed the delicious brunch that mom made and enjoyed exchanging Christmas gifts on Saturday morning. We certainly missed Brian, Katherine and Mikayla but the rest of the family was able to be together. It's getting harder and harder for the extended family to all be together at the same time. I certainly cherish those times when we are!

Thanks to grandpa and grandma for the new shopping cart!


Dorian loves making sandwhiches and cooking with his new pots and pans. He's always loved to help mommy and daddy in the kitchen.

I enjoy the changing of the seasons more every year I think. This was a Sunday after arriving home from church. It's always hard to get the boys to go inside...they love being outdoors no matter what season it is!






Mowing the lawn one last time.


Pnemonia :( Poor little Levi.
