Happy Thanksgiving!

Michael and Mandi had a good Thanksgiving holiday this year spending time with family.

Apparently the tryptophan kicked in from Uncle Bob's turkey.

Michael with his desserts.

Audrey and her "hat."

Brayden and Grandpa Dan. This was after Brayden threw up and was feeling much better!

Judy came over and took our picture for our church Christmas card.

With all the snow today I decided to make myself a new friend. I like to chew on his arm.

Winter is here!

Hello, it's me, Kramer. Winter is here and Mandi tells me the new heat inside the house is nice and warm. She says they get to have it above 65 degrees! Too bad I'm not allowed inside. Michael and his dad have been working in the woods by our house to clear out the dead trees and small bushes. I like it because I can see more animals to bark at. Michael hopes to make a nature trail in the Spring once he has it all clear. Mandi was a chaperone for the Winter Ball at White's again this year. Here are some pictures of her and Jill and some of their students. (She had to blur out their faces... you know, privacy issues.) As you can see, it was just as much fun for her as it was for the kids!

Mandi also got a new shirt.

Merry Christmas...a little early!

I am writing this on my Christmas present- a new laptop! Michael was very cute; he couldn't wait to give it to me.

And, the final baby name poll is over, and of course Olivia was the big winner. Thanks for voting! Now we will just have to wait for the baby to see what name he or she will really have.

On Thursday night some friends and I went to Make It Your Own Pottery in Wabash. We got pizza, painted our pottery, and had a blast! Here are some pictures of Mary, Christine, Shelby, and me.
