Jessie Moving to Rwanda

Josh's sister Jessie is moving to Rwanda in January for 10 months.  She started a blog to better explain her journey.  I urge you to please keep my sister-in-law in your prayers during this next year and if you feel led to help financially she has a link on her blog or you can do so here. 

The kids were really excited to spend last week with her and we will miss her this next year and it will be hard not to see her for a year but we know that she is doing God's work and He will bless her greatly for servant's heart!!!

The Polar Express

Last Sunday we boarded The Polar Express for a trip to the North Pole.  It was decked out just like the movie with the conductor, the hobo, hot chocolate and cookies, elves, and of course Santa Claus!!  We all went with Josh's family and then our friends Aric and Kristin and their son Noah came as well!!  It was a so much!!  I think Haylee enjoyed it the most though!!

Noah ready to board!!

Haylee is having such a fascination with Santa Claus and Christmas this year!!  Her face just lights up!!

Mt. Hood....again

We had so much fun on Mt. Hood on our surprise family day that we decided to go back!!!  This time we took Josh's sister Jessie and it was much better weather to be out!!!  It was GORGEOUS!!!

Nana and Papa didn't think they would be able to handle the cold so decided to have a special day with Haylee.  So Josh, Jessie, Garrett, and I loaded up the car and took off!!  We could not have asked for a better day!!

Garrett is ready to throw some snowballs!!!

  

 

Look how deep the snow is in places!!!!

Jessie trying not to die from Josh's snowball attack!!

Garrett's one request was that we build another snowman!!  We decided to build a HUGE one....we didn't realize when we were making it though that it also had a HUGE booty!!!

Garrett putting the final touches on it!!

Nice work!!!

 

What a GREAT day!!!
