Merry Christmas!!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and this year we are especially wishing Calinn Weber, our niece, a Merry Christmas. She is deployed in Afganistan right now and we are all praying for her safe return. She is far away from us, but still in our hearts this Christmas. We are thankful for all the milatary men and women over there defending our country. We are also thinking about Wendy Weber, Jay's sister and Calinn's mom, who just moved to Arizona and is spending Christmas there. We had Elness Christmas today and I would like to share some pictures with you Calinn and Wendy if you are looking at this. We love you guys very much!!

What a beautiful winter day

What a nice, warm day and Jay and the kids have been enjoying it outside making snow scultures and sledding. Enjoy the pics and the video.

We are blessed!!

It has been a wonderful week of many blessings. We celebrated Chance's 6th birthday this week. I can't believe that he is that old already. Seems like just yesterday when he was a tiny baby. We enjoyed his birthday party with family at Pizza Ranch in Worthington last night. He was very excited to get many great gifts, which he has enjoyed playing with all day today. Last night we were also blessed to be able to go to the "Go Fish" concert in Worthington. I can't explain how awesome it was. I loved it and the kids loved it. We enjoyed it with my mom, Jay, Angie, Maddi and Macie. I truely needed that concert to get into spirit of Christmas, but also to remember the real meaning of Christmas. It was a refreshing concert to go to and the Go Fish guys are are so awesome. Their mission is to create great kids music that has a Biblical message. If you ever get a chance to go see them, do it. I recommend them to all ages. God's blessings today and every day. Jen

Santa, I need a vacation!!

Hi, wow this month has been crazy already and we are only in the first week. I do love this time of year. As busy as it is with everything happening at once it seems, it is an exciting time. The kids have been busy with their activities. Clay started basketball this week, which is always a challenge. Because everyone has to share the gym, his practices have been at crazy times and different every day, so it gets to be a challenge some days. His first game is next week already and on Chance's birthday too. Good thing that Chance didn't want a birthday party with his friends this year. Im not sure what we would have done. Chance is still content having his birthday party with just his family and that's ok with me. I can't believe that he will be 6 already. Time flies. This week we had a Holiday open house at ECFE and Santa was there, so Chance and Cam told the big guy what they wanted. Chance actually sat on his lap this year and talked to him, but not Camryn. She was a bit frightened of him this year. Im not sure why, because she was fine last year. So I barely got a picture of her before she ran off. I look at my calendar and the month only gets busier. I wonder if Santa would get me a vacation somewhere?? I wish. Have a great weekend.
