Christmas Card Photos

We went to JCP for some Christmas photos. We all had a fun time!
 
A little too much fun?

This is what our household looks like this Christmas:
more complicated, more faith, more joy, stronger families.




Triple Blessed with these 3 Fashion Girls.

Sending a little holiday joy your way,
Ben, Julie, Lydia, Abigail & JaQuay

"hello, SNOW!" 1st Grade Concert

ABIGAIL :D

standing with her class, Mrs. Daily

"Penguin Polka" (Kinderpolka)
Over the River  *intro speaking part
This Little Light of Mine

On a Wintry Day
Snowman, Where'd You Go? *if you only watch one video, this is the one ;)
Yay! So proud of you, Abigail, especially with your speaking part! All that performing in front of an audience is really tiring. I don't think this concert could have been more "wisconsin" with the snow and polka. I'm sure we'll have a very different experience next year!
