Santa Came Early!!

It was Thanksgiving and we were all gathered at Emilie and Sam's house when we heard Santa Claus ringing his bells.  He arrived a little early on this year but the kids had fun telling him what they wanted and getting a new plush animal.  As usual, Santa is always mysterious and we are so surprised to see him!  Thank you so much Santa Claus!

Cedar Point Resort 2016

My family took 10 days away from me to go to the cabin.  They all had a wonderful time!  I had a nice visit with Glennys as she took care of me and my family's house during their trip.  I'm so glad they are back!  It is much too quiet here without them.

Santa Strikes Again!

For the 5th year in a row, Santa has come to visit these kids.  This time we were at the Lecompte's house celebrating Uncle Sam's 35th birthday.  What a surprise!!  Santa is so awesome!  The girls all sang a song to him from their church choir.  These kids know it's going to be Jesus' birthday soon and what the true meaning of Christmas is!!

Update...the year is almost over!

Look at how much these kids have grown this year!  It's crazy how time flies!  These kiddos got to spend one last fall day at the orchard.  Uncle Gary and Aunt Alice have decided to retire the apple orchard so it will not be the same.  The apple trees will still be there but it won't be run as it has been all these years.  No more playground, no more "How Tall This Fall", no more feeding goats and hayrides.  I know that we have all been blessed with such fun memories at the orchard including Natalie's 3rd birthday party and Granny and Papa working there.  It will be missed.  We love you lots, Apple Junction!!!
