Nathan did a craft project with the girls on Memorial Day. They painted their hands like a flag and pressed them on paper. Very creative!

“But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.” Psalms 5:11
We had some special family times around Christmas. I particularly enjoy watching the little ones and seeing their enthusiasm for life.

Anna and Tina I did something different this year. I made my to/from tags with pictures. I found Joshua looking at them. Pretty cute. Bethany bought gifts for us with her own money. It was so sweet. Joshua received a ball from his cousin. Abigail gave each of the SAM aunts a solar-driven flower. It waves its “arms” when it’s in the sunlight. She also bought them with her own money. The uncles received a waving snowman. A gift we all enjoy each year is a calendar of pictures Melanie puts together. Mary made GiGi handmade cards she can use throughout the year. It was a delightful gift. Another great gift: something for Grandad to hold. One of the picture to/from tags. Joseph and I were a team, thus, we’re the from ;).

The guys made Christmas breakfast: sausage gravy and biscuits. Joseph, Jesse, and John Mom working on Christmas dinner. Anna We made cookies for the police force on Christmas Day. The girls had dipped pretzels the week before, and Joseph helped to wrap them. The finished product.
Joshua is holding a very special item, which he calls his shed key. He was fascinated with his daddy’s shed key, always wanting to carry it around. Grandpa made a similar shed key (but a key to nothing ;)), and it was Joshua’s favorite gift. Anna Jesse
