Grandma Mary

This month we lost John's Grandma Mary. We were saddened by the news and felt a deep emptiness where she brought so much joy to many. We traveled to Illinois to celebrate the life she lived and to lay her to rest by her dear husband. Many tears of sadness were shed along with tears of joy in happy memories she left us. It is during our times of sorrow that we lean on those we love and there were certainly many to lean on during our trip. We will miss Grandma Mary so much, but wish her joy and peace in heaven.

Snowmageddon 2010

This past weekend we were snowed in with my mom, sisters and boyfriend at our house. The plan was to celebrate my birthday, but instead we celebrated by hunkering down and staying inside when not shoveling our waist high snow drifts. Here are some fun things we did while stuck at home. 

Oh Christmas Tree

Grace loved helping mom and dad put up the Christmas tree this year!
