Let is snow...

The first winter weather has arrived! The schools called this morning at 5:30am notifying us that the kids would get out 3 hours early. Don't know if there were more excited about the snow or getting out of school early. Here are the Tech Family kids along with some of the neighborhood kids.

Neal Family Christmas

Last night we attended our 1st Christmas party of the year, the Neal family Christmas. Neal is Lois' grandmother's maiden name and they get together every year at Christmas. Here are a few photos celebrating the event.

Here are Tinkerbell, Lois and a cousin. As you can see Tinkerbell didn't feel like posing.

Jay Feather is happy it is Christmas.

We have to post a pic of the grandparents eating.

Here is Lois, her sister (right of back row) and several other relatives.

Family Ham

Tinkerbell is the family ham. That shouldn't come as a surprise if you've previously looked at the blog. She begged me to video her, so I did despite the less than ideal conditions.

For God so loved He gave...John 3:16

These words are famous. You see them referenced everywhere from church services to football games. You'll notice that God's love motivated Him to give us the greatest gift (Jesus). As Christians, God's love that lives in us should cause us to give.

This weekend our church held a give away. Members donated clothes, furniture, toys and small appliances.

We then opened the church up to members of the community and allowed people to select whatever they wanted. Ladies from the church even wrapped up some of the items for our guests. Great time all the way around!!

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving two times this year. Once at Clark's grandmother and that evening at Lois' mother's home. Great times at both celebrations. We have much to be thankful for.
