Nov. 25

Sometimes we think we need to do something extravagant or lavish to have a great day.  Not for me.  I'll mark it down in the history books as a great day.  Time with the kids, time with Kevin, productivity, and OSU beat Michigan :)

CBA put up its first Christmas tree


This cheerleader earned us a victory over *ichigan.


Marketing Tool :)

Benny is definitely our best marketing tool :)

Benny's Lightbulbs

Benny is fixated on lightbulbs, circuits, and electricity.  Yesterday was his shining star day at preschool.  What did he take?  A box of lightbulbs and this nifty circuit we made with 2 'D' batteries and some Valentine lights.

Christmas 2016

This Christmas was a lot of fun.  Benny and Claire both were old enough to be excited.  Here are some of the highlights...
New house with a fireplace.  Love!




Santa cookies, a carrot, and magic reindeer food.

Christmas morning.

Claire LOVES Coke.  She opened this and yelled "Santa brought me beer!"  Oh dear...

Happy Coke drinker.

Santa pulled through with this year's best gift---the race car station.


Benny's requested finch feeder.



Christmas afternoon at Grampie and Grammie's house.

We got to be the holy family at church on Christmas Eve.


New jammies from Lindy and Stevie.  Can't resist the cuteness of the footie jammies.


My 1st Christmas






Little Engineer

He truly is his father's child...
