Christmas 2011

Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. 1 Timothy 1:13-15

We thank God for sending Jesus...the One and Only... to live and then die for us....the reason we celebrate Christmas!


...And the weather has been incredible!
We praise God for that gift as well!!!

Trip to Brandon

It was great to meet with Bill & Bev McCaskell in Brandon.

They live in Winnipeg so we met half way.
They have just taken on the role of National Director for CSSM. We had a fun day together and

have met so many wonderful people!

"Formal Night"

Everyone looked great for the Christmas Youth Banquet on Friday night. Some of the boys went shopping at the Salvation Army before the banquet....Tyler got to the till and found out his was free that day! They all looked great.

"Jim's Party at Terry's"

It's been quite awhile since
Jim had a party at our house....
so it was great to finally get together!

Lovin' the weather!

The weather has been so amazing!
We washed three vehicles today in the warm sunshine
and went for a bike ride!
It has been so nice to stop at a stop sign
and not go sliding, and to go out to start the car
and not have to clear all the frost off and wait
for it to warm up...
...And no shoveling!
What a blessing it has been!

Curls....

Kelsey's hair is usually very straight so it
was fun to have Janelle curl it before they
sang at the Carol Festival.

Chillin with Lily....

Lily was "helping" Tyler put his cube back together.
Those eyes of hers just melt our hearts!
