New Year....

More posts?????  We will have to wait and see.  I was not a faithful to update our blog in 2012.  I hope to do better in 2013.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrating with family and friends.  So thankful that despite my sinfulness, God sent His Son to take the wrath for me!  I am so grateful for His completed work on the cross that claimed the ultimate victory on my behalf.

A quick look at our Christmas...

The kids were not super cooperative in their Christmas outfits for me.
Reed got great pics on Christmas Day but I am still waiting on those....
 Avery was FUN this year!
She didn't bother any presents under the tree until we opened gifts
for the first time.  The gifts left under the tree for other celebrations
were fair game in Avery's mind.
 Stockings are great!
 Rylie, Isaac, Avery and Lilly (Pat's little girl)
on Christmas Eve Day.  Cousins!!
 Avery loving her Bitty Twin!
 Rylie and Isaac wanted bean bags and lap desks for Christmas.
Just another option for a place to do school work.  I knew
if they had them, Avery would want one.  So EVERYONE
got one at Mamma's!!!  Ry, I, A, Lissa and Eli.
 Aunt DD brought snowballs for an indoor snowball fight.
This picture makes Avery look like she is really after someone!

We started the New Year off with some sledding!
Avery LOVED it!
Thanks, Ry, for sledding with me!
 This is Isaac giving his new snowboard a shot.
He did pretty awesome for the first time!
No broken bones!!!
 And the new zipfy sled....
 Rylie and Isaac were able to take a ski lesson and enjoy
some time on the "mountain."  I was impressed with how
quickly they caught on!  After lunch, they decided to bypass
the bunny hill and catch the lift up to the top!  Way to go!

And Rylie only had to be pulled out of a bush one time
on the "mountain."  Wish I could have seen or heard that!
