New Year's in Phoenix

It was so lovely to spend New Years in Phoenix with only light weight jackets. We had plenty of noise makers, confetti, and noise makers (yes, I said it twice).

Of course, we did a puzzle as well. Something we all enjoy doing around the table together.

Christmas at Luse's

A new microwave!!! Thank You!!! Now we can stop beating our old one up to make it run. The kids were so happy to have another gift opening session. Thanks for the cars (and all the other goodies).

And always a visit to see Great Granny Nadine. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day at Backey's

After church on Sunday we hurried to Grandma and Grandpa's for a day with the family. What a fun day it was. Kids got more gifs.

All the cousins.....Left to right starting on the back row.....

Christmas Eve

Klara sang at church with her class (she is on the left). After they sang, the adult choir did a concert that I directed. This was 2 of the 3 gifts they gave me.

That night, here are our "treats" for Santa.

Christmas morning, waiting to see Santa on the firetruck. Still a bit of snow around.

Gotta love the small towns. Santa visiting on a firetruck in front of our house.
