Merry Christmas!

This has certainly been a Christmas to remember. We started last Friday morning with an ice storm and a power outage that lasted until Monday afternoon. We tried spending the first night in the house with a fire going in the fireplace, but decided we weren't going to do that again. At the coldest point, our bedroom got down to 16 degrees! Unfortunately all of Michael's fish died and one of our pipes froze, but other than that, we were very lucky to have been able to stay at Tom's house for the weekend.

We also enjoyed spending Christmas with our families.

Check out those socks on Brayden. (Go Hoosiers!)

Bryce... I mean Spiderman.

A gift for Michael.

This is a puzzle we had made from an old photo of Tom. He's #35.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Closer to Christmas

It is getting closer to Christmas. I sure hope I get a bone for a present. I had a fun day today. The neighbors' little beagle named Barney came over to my house to play for a while. We just ran around and chased each other all over the place. This last Sunday David was out hunting and shot a dog. I was a little worried that he might try and shoot me because I am also a dog. He then told me it was a coyote and that I have nothing to worry about.

Yesterday Michael and Mandi went to the Purdue vs. Ball State basketball game. That's right, Mandi went to a Purdue game. Michael says she wanted to watch a winning basketball team play. Purdue won 68-39.
