Christmas Day Family Pictures

We took advantage of Christmas Day being on Sunday and took some family pictures right after church.

More Christmas Cheer

Braden surprised Amber with the Robert Munsch Collection, her favorite children's author.

Tanner and Jordan were thrilled to receive a Wii.

With the help of a crafty neighbor, Tanner made Amber a dream catcher with authentic glass beads, ostrich bone and turquoise.

Christmas Fun

Merry Christmas!

Tanner and Jordan can't seem to find their stockings. Santa must of gotten confused. He left them in the cabin.

School Projects and Honors

For the 5th grade Wax Museum, Jordan dressed up as Abraham Lincoln. He did a great job on his presentation board and report.



Tanner, 7th grade, was honored for excellence in English. Good job Tanner!

WE BE LOyal Scouts

Jordan earned his WEBELOS badge and arrow of light last month. He was presented with all his earning this month at pack meeting. Our neighbor did a special advancement ceremony for him and presented him with an authentic arrow.

A visit to grandma's house

On Saturday, I took a trip over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house. Literally. I remember singing that song as we'd drive when I was a child. The house is over 100 years old and looks much the same as it did when my grandma was living. It was strange being there without her. It made me miss her terribly. I took 300 pictures of the house and farm. Here are some of my favorites.

Wood Family Nativity

Grandma and Grandpa Wood are serving a mission close by. All the family joined together and had a little Christmas party. With Grandma as the director all the cousin acted out the Nativity. We were lucky to have Seth visiting to be our baby Jesus.
