Yet Another Weather Update
I have never paid much attention to the weather 'till I moved here.
Today's report : air temp now -15 deg.
with wind chill -35 deg.
high today will be -4 deg.
Even after 5 years I can't really get used to this frigid cold! It makes your floors chilly and all of your windows are icy and NOONE is allowed outside for fear of frostbite. What the...? UGH! i guess we'll be watching lots of movies and playing games today... hmm, I guess thats okay. :)

Happy 2008!
So, another year is upon us. Who know what it holds. We mostly pray the same thing... that God would bless us in whatever direction we go ... because we want everything we do, to be for Him ... so I suppose whatever happens, it'll be just fine.
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Col. 3:17
And Finally....
So now..
Christmas has arrived! We spent Christmas eve with Jeff's family having dinner, going to church, and opening presents at their house. Then Christmas day belongs to just us. Opening presents, playing, and eating candy all day. We watched the Nativity Story and rested. We were all pretty sick with a flu bug at some point, but it didn't ruin it.
Then the kids have their Christmas Concert...
..at school. That is one nice thing about living in a small midwest town... no one freaks out about the kids singing "Christmas" songs. Michaela's class performed on recorders. It was quite good actually. Sure was loooooong though. When you have one at the beginning and one at the end you can't skip out on most of the program. Yikes!
...and decorate a gingerbread house
Then you have to decorate....
I think I did pretty good this year NOT rearranging ornaments. I let the kids decorate the tree all they wanted and then I did the rest. I'm in charge of tinsel ... do I need to give a reason? Even though Zander likes to put everything on one branch, I held off moving some... I got a little twitchy.
The Christmas "season"
