Christmas 2010

*Christmas Eve with the Bronkema fam*

*Christmas Day with the Thede fam*

Oh, how we 'heart' our families!!!

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas..."

Merry CHRISTmas to all of our loved ones!

We are so blessed to be surrounded by loved ones this Christmas!

May that baby in the manger be the Lord of our lives!

Happy Early Birthday

Happy (almost) 10th Birthday, Anna!!!

Go Uncle Cory! He's a climbing machine!


Moses and Aunt Kris at the indoor water park. He wasn't sure about the water at first, but Aunt Kris convinced him it was a good time!

Crazy cousins...

This week we were able to celebrate our niece Anna's 10th Birthday (two months early). They will be heading back to Haiti in the beginning of January, so this was a lot of fun... especially because it was a SURPRISE!

Little Man Moses

The older four kids got "school pictures" so we were left needing

photos of our 2 year old little man. (2.75 really)

This little heart-throb is not lacking for expression...

Ahhhh, Fall.

Pics from this Fall...

Our Hershey's, basketball player, cookie monster & kitty

candy gathering crew.
Lyric with her Cross Country coaches
who she would like to take with her to highschool next year.
She has officially hung up her running shoes
for a bit and is spending some time with her goggles and swim cap.


My sticky project...

The day Anna mastered rollerblades

and Lyric mastered the pogo stick!

Cuddly Fradies and cuddly Moses.

I remember when Gavin was "cuddly." =)

Not so much anymore!

Lyric's baptism

On Nov. 7, Lyric took the next step in her journey

of following Jesus.

It was a great day...one of my favorites yet.
