Alec ate before everyone else so that he could go take a nap.

We had turkey and all the dressings that go with it for lunch. It was very good!

Daddy and his helpers

Tonight Dad was fixing our dishwasher, and the little boys, especially Alec, wanted to join in to. ;)

Alec was funny!! When Dad would try to look underneath the dishwasher, Alec thought he needed to too. He had to have his head in front of Dad's though otherwise he would push it out of the way. ;)

Christan Life Conference

The Straight Shooters club is putting on a conference in Monroe, WI on February 26-28. Norm Wakefield is the speaker, and he does an excellent job challenging you in your walk with the Lord. If you don't have anything going on, I would encourage you to attend this conference! It will be a great time of preaching and fellowship with other believers! You visit the Christian Life Conference website to learn more about the sessions and to register.

Blog Birthday!

Well, today has been one year since we started a blog! It has been a lot of fun to keep you all updated with different things going on in our lives. It is also really nice to be able to look back at our year and remember all the events that took place! I look forward to keeping up the blog again this year.

It would be neat to see who all looks at our blog. If you read our blog, leave a comment with your name, and for something fun share your favorite Bible verse.

"I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore." Psalm 86:12

Cousins

A couple of years ago, I made Britt and I matching skirts, so this year I made dresses for Jen and Rachel. Britt and I stayed overnight at Grandma's house with Jen so we could get her ready for church in morning.

I made Jen's and Rachel's dress this year, and they turned out very cute.

The only girls out of 14 grandkids!
