Merry Christmas to everyone and anyone! We have finally finished the last of the Christmas Cards. Yeah! Here is our "Assembly line" in getting the cards done.
Here are Noah, Ben and Elliott doing puzzles as we finished the cards. Noah and Ben were getting quite frustrated with a certain turtle puzzle we have because they could not get all of the pieces to match (the puzzle is similar to a Rubik's cube). They finally gave up when they could smell the pizza dad was making.
Dad was the Chef of the night. He made pizza while we did the cards and also cheered us on from the sidelines. :) 
It has also been snowing really hard up here in the warm state of Minnesota. We have about a foot of snow now, but will probably get more nearing Christmas.
Noah, and the rest of they boys, are building a snow tunnel in the big pile of snow that the plow made in our driveway. Noah was digging a downward tunnel when I took his picture.
After a really beautiful snowfall, I went for a walk and took some pictures of the snow. Here is a picture of a tree from our field.
I hope God will Bless you all through this joyful Holiday season celebrating His son's birth. Merry Christmas! ~Hope
Here is Stephanie and mom doing the writing out of the addresses and stuffing of the envelopes. We actually wrote a newsletter this year, which was very exciting for myself (Hope) who loves to write.
Abbi was the "sticker girl." She would put the christmasy stickers on the outside of the envelopes. 
Hope would put on stamps and put on our address. I was excited, because this year, we actually had stickers and so I didn't have to do it all by hand!

The Wurdemanns and Foley Forsmans joined us for Thanksgiving!
There was a whole bunch of food and plenty to spare afterwards. The Wurdemanns brought over "raw" food to add a variety to our flavorful Thanksgiving meal. We also had a large turkey, which was not raw. :) Dad thought it would be better to cook the turkey.
Abby and Hannah.
The Best part of the meal was the pies afterwards! Mom baked a pumpkin pie, Abby baked a apple pie, and Stephanie baked a harvest pie.
They all tasted great!
