Well it has been awhile since I added some photos and information to our blog.  So here is a very short update.  From top to bottom...Thanksgiving 2013 was spent in Seattle.  Amy and John hosted a family dinner.  We also celebrated Matt's 40th birthday during the same weekend.  Then early in the month of December Janelle, Matt and Camille came to spend a night with us and to see the Christmas lights here in Leavenworth.  We had a grand time! 

We spent Christmas in Iowa with the Houghtons.  We had a wonderful time although it was very cold and icy!  We had lots of fun with a variety of activities: baking, shopping, going to church, celebrating Christmas and more!
