Goofing around by the tree - Isaac and Erin
Reading verses of the Christmas Story before opening a gift
Hurry and read so I can open my present!
Isaac, Brooke, Erin and Curt
What a handsome guy!Wow, we thought the week was going to be a little more restful because it didn't seem we had as many places to go but it still ended up seemingly busy and hectic! Wonderful all the same! Christmas Eve we went to our church's candlelight service, then home for pizza and dessert with Jeremy's Mom, stepdad and sister and watched some home movies. They were movies from when Danielle was still here with us - first time we've really watched them since she went to heaven! Very precious! Then, Christmas morning had to wait until Amber, Brooke and Curt came home at 10:30am to open presents - very hard for Isaac and Erin. Grandpa Steve came over and made biscuits and gravy and watched all the commotion. We stayed home all day. Wednesday we had Christmas at Jeremy's mom's which was fun. Good food, presents, games, etc. Friday we went to Grayling and stayed in the Ramada Inn for 2 nights and let the kids swim, play, etc. and played games in between (UNO/PIT). Curt was a fish and swam quite a bit. Isaac liked the warm pool (jacuzzi), but would get upset because he couldn't stay in there for long periods of time - too hot! The girls swam a bit as well. I got in once - still too cold for me:( I'm spoiled by our pool here in the summer which heats up to 90 degrees with the solar cover alone! Erin loved to go "swimmin" and slide. She would go into the room and start stripping, looking for her suit! Sunday, we went to my mom and Bill's in Roscommon for our Christmas there. Again, games, lots of good food (and desserts), presents, kids playing, kids fighting, etc... New year's eve, Amber, Brooke and Curt went to their dad's and Isaac and Erin and Jeremy and I went to his Dad's for the night. We ate, played games and the boys and Jeremy and his brother played video games while some of us went to sleep not long after midnight! Now, we are recuperating and resting up. Jeremy goes back to work tomorrow and the kids to school on Thursday. One night to get bedtime back to semi-normal! It goes by way too fast! I can't believe I only have 7 more weeks to go if the baby decides to wait that long! I'm feeling very huge and having a hard time fitting into anything! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas and happy new year!

sounds like you guys were busy like us! Don't know if you heard yet, but I am expecting too! Sometime in July! Good to catch up with you on here.. Talk soon!
Hey, congratulations! I hope you're feeling ok. I thought this was a neat idea after I looked at your blog and Sara's. Don't know how good I'll be at updating it once I'm back to work, but I'll try... It is fun keeping "an eye" on others this way. Otherwise, I don't hear too much...
