New Years Eve

Olie bollen

and Appel Flappen

 Olga did the sermon 

We were all proud of her

¹ Sing to the LORD a new song;
   sing to the LORD, all the earth.
² Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
   proclaim his salvation day after day.
³ Declare his glory among the nations,
   his marvelous deeds among all peoples. Psalm 96

Do we call it a white Christmas?

December 27

A thick layer on the trees

Poot Christmas

 Eden did great before I tried to make a picture

 We had a great time

Gourmetten

 Good food

 presents

 We had a Canadian / American theme

even to the PJ's

Silent Night

Story-Hour / Coffee-Break brunch

 It's always a treat when the kids sing

Lely Chocolates?

Interesting Chocolates

Creek Cleaning

 Our Creek is dug out

 Wonder how many stones make their way unto the pasture

No sign of a white Christmas yet

Wii Soccer

Marc & Rien have been playing lots of games

 Quality time

Wonder who's winning

Mail

Our Dutch year end letter is in the mail

Youth Relay

 A game to see who would be fastest

 Jr. or Sr. youth

They said Sr. youth won

but I think the Jr. youth played more by the rules

one blindfolded person fed another

Tree details

These last couple weeks Marc is bringing home treats

they make fudge and cookies at school

also reindeer

Marc has also made a new decoration

Ditch Meeting

 There was a meeting to talk about cleaning the ditch

the second one this fall

 The map was out of date

Actually none of the current land owners were on the map,

Rien is marking drains and removing the fence

Village under the tree

 Marc has been building

 I'd put the blocks away in bags with the instructions

that worked out really well

Decorating

 While we were playing games,

Marc decorated the tree

and put the village up
