December 2023

 

Sandy Hollow iced over enough to walk on it!

Dorian and Brady got in some ice fishing!

Our deck is finished and very lovely!  
It was so fun to enjoy a night by the fire in DECEMBER!  
Having fun making Christmas cookies!


Mason's Christmas concert! 
Mason got to play bells to accompany one of their songs!

I thought it was pretty funny that I picked nearly the same Christmas card as my mom!
Levi's concert.  He sang in Mannenkoor and played as first chair saxophone in the band!




Mason's class Christmas party.

Mason loves peanut butter blossom cookies.
Dorian got a European mount of his first deer!
We've enjoyed so many mild winter days that the ice on Sandy Hollow melted again.  On the first day of Christmas break, Dorian found out that the pond at Willow Creek was iced over enough for ice fishing.

Mason caught a tagged rainbow trout!



Christmas party with the Bolkemas!





Merry Christmas!




The boys were surprised that we got them VR headsets!




It's so pretty when everything is covered with a thin layer of ice.
The boys were excited to watch Grandpa and Grandma play the VR headsets!  We had fun celebrating Grandpa's birthday with us.


We spent a few nights with the boys at the cabin over Christmas break.  We worked on a couple of puzzles, played games, went to an escape room and a golf simulator, read books on the comfy couches, and checked trail cams.  We also really enjoyed listening to the slushy water which sounded like the ocean, watching the ice chunks drift by in the wind, and seeing a few eagles right out our window.  It was relaxing and enjoyable!





Praising God for a year full of many blessings!!!
