My new theme ~ Weddings!

My Mom & Dad's Wedding...

Anne & Brian's Wedding, June 4, 1993

I have been going through my pictures and have had fun scanning them and remembering fun times, so I thought I would share some.

Erin and Erica shortly before Erica (on the right) fell head first into the bushes, sorry I didn't get a picture of that! I was too busy laughing, I'm sure!

My own "Awkward Family Photos"

My kindergarten picture...yes, I picked my own dress AND insisted on the hairstyle. Pretty stylish, if I do say so myself!

I love this picture! Not sure what was making Tom so happy!

Our Snowy Weekend

It was a white Christmas!

Snowy street in Walker.

Ethan and one of his hockey idols!

First time with a stick on the ice! He LOVED that!

Kellen wants to skate SO bad!


We spent the Christmas Holiday driving back and forth to Walker spending time with Doug's family. Overall traveling wasn't too bad and we did most of it in the daylight. We only saw three cars in the ditch and they were all on Saturday afternoon. Saturday Ethan went skating with Zach and got to shot some pucks after spending some time skating around the rink. He did a great job and had a lot of fun with Zach!

Ethan's Christmas Program

Ethan attends preschool at Calvary Lutheran Christian Preschool. They had their Christmas program last week. Each year the teacher spends time telling the story of Jesus' birth. Then she has the kids "write" their program by having them tell the story back to her. Ethan's part was "the star shined down on baby Jesus" .....I am pretty sure that is what he said last year! Apparently that made an impression on him. Then the kids sang 2-3 songs and we had cookies and coffee together. It was pretty cute!


A staged photo of him putting up his star on the story board!

The whole class.

Grandma Joanne was able to come!

Ethan and Kellen with their early Christmas present -- Fisher Price's Nativity Set, they love it!
