Claire's picture of our "Christmas is Cooking" ornament helped remind me what Christmas is truly about...

Claire was pretty excited to get a new pink camera for Christmas and she's already taken a bunch of photos! So expect many new photos from Claire in 2012 and beyond!

Grandma Susie brought an early Christmas present - Nativity Cookie Cutters!

Most of the cookies were put in the freezer, but I did get to eat a couple and they were delicious. The kids had a blast cutting and decorating and eating!

Why didn't I think of this?

We had a blast at a Star Wars Birthday Party last night. The costumes were amazing and the food was out of this world!

Claire snapped a few photos on our nature hike at Teichner Preserve. We had a nice time on this short hike with a nice view of Lime Lake at the end of the trail!

Here's a picture taken by Claire of three deer we saw on one of our evening drives along M-22 south of Leland a couple of nights ago. We saw around forty deer total including seven of them playing right alongside one of the back roads on the way home.

Claire's cousin Isaiah shot his first deer this morning during the youth hunt.

Here's a bonus photo!

Today is Luke's Birthday. He is 7 years old. Happy Birthday Luke!

Claire must be directing some kind of show.

Claire loves to photograph toys.
