We will be spending Christmas day with Garrett and then heading up north to the McBride's and checking in on Chase Mills with a sled ride or two or three...
Jackie and Louie let us ski and 4 wheel in their woods, and there may be enough
ice for ice fishing already!
We wish everyone a joyous season and we'll share our pictures when we return!

Happy Holidays!
Sorry it has been over a month since I last posted, relatives!
The last month has been a fun Advent experience, reading from The Jesse Tree and adding an ornament each night. We play a board game after each meal at night, and playing by the candlelight has been a nice touch!
Connor has been doing very well in school and had his classmate, Cameron, over to play a few days ago. He has been so into the Advent season this year, reminding his family quite often as to what it is all about. He built his own candle shrine to Baby Jesus and lay pillows down "So my knees don't hurt when I pray like at church." He broke our hearts when he wrote his letter to Santa. "Dear Santa, I won't forget carrots for your reindeer. The only thing I want are flowers that won't die for my Mugsy and Sasha." So I am off to JoAnn Fabrics. We can't believe he is still grieving and working through this. We talked to his counselor at school and she will be working on helping him process before one day, God forbid, it is a person he has to work through!
Colin's Indoor Season is fast and furious. He ran the 1600 (1 mi.) at his first meet in 4:50. He ran the 1000m and the 4x800 in his last meet. The 1000m time was 2:54 and his 800m time was 2:17. He is disappointed in his times thinking he can go faster, but it is tricky running on an indoor track. He is doing well in school and enjoying the Tech Class he is in. He has expressed an interest in being an engineer.
SNOW! Time I could spend on the blog has been spent shoveling, organizing the scout newsletter and the MS PTO. Winter is here. Today and yesterday we got almost 2 feet of snow with more to come again on Sunday. School of course was cancelled for the boys, but not for Tony or I. We ring the Salvation Army Bell tonight and are having friends over for dinner.
