Traveling again

We returned home from PA Christmas Eve, now for New Years Eve we are in DE. The trip went well even though it was really windy the whole way.
We're looking forward to being with Ben's family for several days. We plan to return home Saturday...& that concludes this boring update.

Christmas with the Zehrs

Grandpa & Grandma with their 12 grandchildren.

The cousins are having a great time together.
Sierra, Hannah & Megan
Mom & Dad
My folks outdid themselves again this year. Each of the married couples received a saw with a painting of the covered bridge. We grew up just up the road from this bridge. It washed away in a flood in 1996, so this painting is extra special!
The newest grandbaby, Glen & Rachel's Kaiden James.

The cowboys...Jackson, Jayden & Casey.
The ladies with their new hats.
JoAna is thrilled with her gifts from Grandpa & Grandma!
Mom & Caia made these beautiful hats for the girls.
The happy cousins. :)

December Fun

Making Christmas Cookies
I confess that I have not done well at making Christmas cookies with the children. This year we did manage to get it accomplished & it has been declared a tradition to be continued.

Casey carefully applying icing.

Hannah & JoAna
Ben even got in on the action.
JoAna is pleased with her holly.
Birthday in December.
We enjoyed babysitting Glen's children one morning while Kaiden's adoption was finalized.

JoAna & Aleya
Jayden & Jackson

We traveled to PA Yesterday to be with the Zehr family. We are enjoying the beautiful home that my folks are living in right now. It even has 5 bedrooms!
The children were delighted to see snow thismorning.

We even dug out the sled. They don't have much of a hill, but the children didn't care as long as I was pulling them!
