 Ava was a terrific help in baking all the Christmas goodies!

Molly wishes all a Merry Christmas!

Thanks to our good friend Eugene for composing this flattering picture of our "lovely" ball of fluff.  Merry Christmas!!

Contact lens lesson

Ava and Brennan recently received contact lenses.  Here, they are getting pointers on the best way to put them in while visiting Jon's parents in Kansas.

Brayden and Jon at Hillsboro M.B. Church

Brayden had fun singing with his Dad while we were in Kansas visiting Jon's parents.  What a special time we had with family!

Hard work paid off!

 Anna and Brodie have been saving their money from work in hopes of buying a vehicle.  After a few years, they both were able to pay cash for their "rides".  Anna bought a 2013 Buick Encore in excellent condition and just loves it.  This car absolutely fits her personality.  Brodie, on the other hand, wanted something a bit more sporty.  He bought a 2006 Ford Mustang.  Since it is a manual transmission, he had to learn the new skill of driving with a stick shift (just when I thought I was done with driving lessons for a while).  He picked it up quickly and loves zipping up to ... but not above ;-) ... the speed limit.
