Camden's Confirmation

Camden received the Sacrament of Confirmation on January 22.  We were blessed that Bishop Muhm was able to make it for the special occasion.

Camden chose his Godmother, Jessi, to be his Confirmation Sponsor.  Chris made a Flat Jessi to join us.

 

Look at these two GROWN children!

Emma's Sweet 16

The day we became parents... 

...To our now 16 YEAR OLD! 

We wanted to make Emma's Sweet 16 birthday extra special, despite all of the pandemic restrictions.  Celebrating all weekend long was the perfect plan!

Lots of laughs with these silly friends!

Chris organized an online Facebook event for Emma celebrating her latest obsessions: Nike sneakers and Harry Styles.

  We are overwhelmed with the love from around the world that has poured out for Emma!  Messages, pictures, videos, and gifts galore!  We are truly blessed to have this sensational 16 year old in our lives! 

Winter Break Wrap-Up

 2021, we are so happy to see you!  The week between Christmas and New Years was extra quiet this year. The weather was awful and more travel restrictions kept us very close to home.

This was the scene for most of the week :) We enjoyed a Chronological Order Marvel Movie Marathon

The biggest excitement was a little dinner party to celebrate Sherri's birthday!

Emma had her first driving lesson at Carney Park and she did fantastic!

Camden needed a little New Year's Eve nap in front of the fire

At midnight we enjoyed the fireworks show on our roof
