We have been on Christmas break this week; Dad came home from work at noon Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and has been working with the boys on the new basement bedroom. Levi hasn’t been working second shift at Precision either so he’s home by 3:00 every day. At home we’ve been doing a few winter projects and a lot of ice-skating.
Uncle Jeff’s left Wednesday morning around 7:30, and we spent the rest of the morning getting everybody up and going (that took till at least 9:30) and cleaning up. Then we skated on the rink all afternoon.
Thursday and Friday we caught up on some sewing projects, cooked pumpkins, cleaned, and skated. Friday Jim & Rachel and Tim & Jenny came for supper and skating. We skated a while and then played hockey.
Saturday was windy and cold. We skated in the afternoon but didn’t last more than an hour. After supper Tim, Nic, Ben, and Andy came and played hockey with the boys.
Sunday was really warm. We skated after church for an hour but the ice was too slushy and chipping apart. After the sun went down it froze right back up and was perfect for skating with the Kochs. Chuck, Andrew, and Angie played hockey with us till 9:00, then we all came in and and visited for the rest of evening.
A few pictures. The little kids weren’t up when Uncle Jeff’s left so they got picture hugs.
Josh made this magz line all by himself.
