We are in Texas!

This past week we stayed at some good friends of ours, the Telfer family.

They were such a blessing and encouragement to us. We had a blast!

Playing spoons.

We also played some Catan.

Friday evening we sang at a church near San Antonio TX.

The concert went really well and the people there were once again very generous.

Thank you so much!

After the concert, the Telfer's treated us out to Krispy Kream Doughnuts.

We actually got to watch them being made!

Pick your choice of flavors!

They were so awesomely delicious!

Here is yours truly, having a bunch of Krispy Kream hats stacked on top of her head.

On the way back from Krispy Kream, the Telfer kiddos rode home with us in our RV.

This is what happens when you pile a bunch of young people in a vehicle who are hyped on sugar.

This is the bunch of us girls.

We had a awesome time together!

Thanks again Telfer's for inviting us to your place and giving us such a wonderful and enjoyable experience. We will be missing you bunches!

I tell ya, these two girls loved to hang out with each other.

It was sad for all of us to have to say good-bye.

The lovely parents.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not onto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."

Proverbs 3:5

Fun with Leana and Family

Sunday was a fun and relaxing day spent at home.

Leana had bunches of fun spending time outside in the snow, with aunties, uncles, and grandparents, and playing with her new toys from Christmas.

Leana's first horse ride.

Leana also went sledding for the first time.

Excited smiles...

Later in the evening we spent time playing some games together.

Catan was definatly our favorite.

Monday morning Leana was being a bit silly.

I just had to get some of this cute, silly, and adorable girl.

"Train up a child in the way that he should go;

even when he is old he shall no depart from it."

Proverbs 22:6

Christmas With Family

Andrea, Joel and Leana came down for Christmas this year. It was a short visit, but it was packed with fun and sweetness.

They didn't come until later in the evening Christmas Day. We decided that it was best to open all the gifts on Friday.

Leana got to help Grandpa open up the first present.

Our lovely parents had to share a kiss with the wonderful season of Christmas.

Sweet smiles...

Leana with Daddy...

Matthew got a single cup coffee maker for his apartment in Nebraska.

Laurissa made each of us girls a pare of beautiful, warm mittens.

~ Andrea ~

Matthew loves his brand new leather jacket!

Look at the camera Leana!

Mommy and Leana...

I think we spoiled her with all the gifts she ended up getting.

But totally worth the smiles and laughter coming from such a little peanut.

To wrap it all up I'll have to say that it was one of the best Christmases I've ever had.

Saturday we had a gathering of grandparents, uncles and cousins from Dad's side of the family.

We had the reunion at the nursing home where grandma lives.

Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Charile, Aunt Mary, Aunt Julie, Al, and Uncle Joe.

Most of the cousins are represented in this picture.

Sadly, there were a few cousins who couldn't make it. We missed you Jackie, Craig, Troy, Shanon and Chris.

Hope you had a very merry Chritmas!

"Lo, children are an inheritance of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."

Psalm 127:3-5
