Holiday Potpourri

We had a wonderful time together as family over the holidays. In spite of the challenges of delayed flights and routing to alternate airports, we were all together and enjoyed the unexpected bonus of getting acquainted with Aaron and watching Dillan & Landon "brothering" him (thanks, Andrea!).

There was the chilly Christmas Day excursion by Allison,
Andrea & Philip with Dillan & Landon
to the sledding hill behind Dordt's chapel...

... there were warmer, cuddlier moments with Aaron...

who obliged us by being awake & alert much of the time :-).

We played some Wii -- badminton & volleyball

...Dennis & Philip had a great time playing
with Landon's Christmas presents...

Allison, Dennis & I were able to visit with Beppe (Dennis' mom) at

the Care Center in Platte. She is doing better & as you can
see here, she has that feisty sparkle back in her eyes. :-)

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!
