Holly Hop Dance.

 This cute couple is ready to enjoy the Holly Hop.

 We're ready to make some music.

 All the little kids ready for the Firehouse Polka!

Us girls with our friends Kayla and Emily.

A quick family portrait before ending the night.

Dancing Together.

We went to a polka dance and had a great time.

 We all danced a lot!!!

 Nick and Bella danced every song, waltz or polka.

We all had a great time enjoying the music and dancing.

November post.

 Throughout Nov, our parents celebrated their Anniversary of marriage. What a blessing to have such a commitment to God, and what an example it is to all of us.

There were also nature walks during the turning of the seasons. The little kids took an afternoon walk with Mom.

They were all bundled up as the weather was getting colder. But now all the leaves have fallen, and the ground turns from brown to white with a fresh blanket of snow. And it is "really" cold!!!

Happy Birthday Maria!

 We celebrated Maria's birthday with British theme.

 I made her a delicious Turtle Cheesecake.

 Some of us kids went and spent an afternoon at a bowling alley, as part of her birthday!

We had a lot of fun laser tagging, and bowling! Happy Birthday Maria!!! We love you very much, you are a special person in this family! God bless your life to the fullest!!!

Fishermen!

 Dad and the boys went fishing and caught some nice big salmon.

 Tony stands proud with his fish. Thanks to them, we have canned salmon for the winter ahead.

Tea Time and Sunsets.

 Bella enjoyed a tea party with Raggedy Ann. They had tea and some yummy cookies.

 Bella certainly had a fun tea time with her big doll.

 I caught this beautiful sunset and was amazed at how beautiful the clouds looked!!!!

It went from a orange color to pink as the sun sank farther away. How majestic is your creation O LORD!!!! How mast is the sum of them!

1900's Dress-up!

 I caught the kids playing outside all dressed up looking like they had just stepped into England during the 1900's.

 Maria and Alex dressed up in an English cricket match uniform that would have been worn when playing.  They did a good job in getting close to the real thing.

 Julia in her wide brimmed hat, gloves, and dress also looks the part of an onlooking spectator for the game of that time.

I believe that Tony was Indiana Jones and Nick was a traveling friend. You all looked really great!!!!!
