Merry Christmas

Once again Christmas was the busiest time of year yet very fun and rewarding.  We had Christmas Eve with Michelle's family here at the house.  We went to church at the Burt Methodist Church and they had a very nice service.  We then came back to the house where we had Panda House food warming in the oven.  The family arrived and we had a nice meal together and fellowship.  The kids got to open a few presents also.

Christmas Eve excitement!
 
Micah!
 
Mom and Dad.
 
 
I was surprised that no one stayed late.  Everyone was gone by 10pm and we got the boys in bed so that Santa could arrive.  We were up till about 1:00am and got to bed.
 
 
So Christmas Day arrive early as Brendan woke us at 3:00am.  We sent him back to bed and he woke us at 5:00am.  Again we sent him back to bed.  He came down again at 7:15am and we got up.  We started coffee and a fire while Brendan woke up JJ.  We opened presents and had a good time.
 
Michelle and I then started to prepare for my mom and dad's arrival.  Before we knew it they were here and we had a nice brunch.  Then it was time for more presents.

Mom and Chance.
 
Mom and Dad left and it was time for Michelle and I to take a nap.  We were woke up by the phone and it was time to go to Michelle's parents house for supper.  They made a ham and turkey and the whole family was there.  We stuffed ourselves again and then retreated to the family room where the kids opened more presents.
 
MacKenzie and Brendan
 
 
It was a long and fun day for all of us.  The kids wanted to spend the night at Grandma's so we headed home.  About 11:15pm Brendan called and his missed his mom and dad so Michelle brought him home.  We put him to bed and we followed shortly after.  A very memorable Christmas.
 
Praise the Lord, Happy Birthday Jesus!

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

Thanksgiving has come and gone.  We are now full on into the Christmas rush.  So let me bring you up to date.
