Foggy Morning Sunrise

On my way to work the other morning, in the fog, the sunrise was wonderful and thought I would share it with everyone.

Christmas in Waverly

I finally found some of the pictures from Christmas in Waverly. The day started with a wonderful lunch. We then opened presents and then the kids and Granma made the gingerbread house.

Christmas

A friend informed us recently that we haven't done an update lately and then I realized that we hadn't even put Christmas pictures on. So, here it is Kip, thanks for noticing!



Christmas for us started this year with a trip to Odebolt for Christmas with the Scanlan's. This includes several cousins to play with.

Ben (4), Jordan (4) and Alexa (2)














Just two of the presents Jordan received - anything with wheels is ALWAYS a hit with this boy.






The next gatherings are in Audubon with the Levis' & Nielsen's. This was another 3 hour drive and Jordan was told that if he didn't sleep on the way, there would be NO presents so.......

Our "sleeping angel" on the way to Christmas.

On Christmas Eve we celebrate at Taylor Hill Lodge with the Levis side.

After supper we got ready to open presents, here Jordan is sitting on Great Uncle Lance's lap with Great Aunt Gayle looking on.


Great Granma Nielsen's house was the next party, on Christmas Morning for brunch and gifts and yes ....... more cousins to play with.

After the 3 hour drive back home, although it took even longer because of the weather, Jordan found that Santa had been to our house and left presents for him under the tree.

A few days later we gathered in Waverly with Granma & Papa, Emily, John and the girls & ourselves. Unfortunately I can't find my pictures, so when they have been located I will add them also.


Thank you to everyone for the lodging, food, playtime and gifts.
