2016 Family Pictures...

We had our family pictures taken in August.  Despite some questionable weather, we were able to get them in and got some decent pictures.  We were able to overlap with the Lindvall family for a few pictures so we could get a group shot and a few of the cousins.  Here are some of our favorites.

 



Christmas Activities {2016}...

We have had a fun and busy Christmas season.  Here is what all we've been up to in pictures.

 

Sparkles our Elf came back this year and brought matching jammies for the girls and their dolls.

 

 

Nana and Papa treated us all to the Yuletide Celebration and we enjoyed a great show and dinner out.

Not the best family pic, but it will have to do.

We hit up Jolly Days at the Children's Museum with our friends.

Maddy had Gingerbread night at Preschool and she chose Daddy to go with her.

 

We visited with Santa at the Library.  The big girls were at Awana so we just took Maddy.

 

This year we went on the Sullivan's Express train ride to the North pole.  It was a fun time and the girls got to visit with Santa.

We got a lot of snow and this girl loved playing in it and helping Daddy shovel.

Our annual trip to Reynolds Farm Equipment to sit on Santa's lap.



Another matching sister's pic before church.

The cousins after church...minus Emery who didn't want to join in.

 We've been having lots of fun and look forward to more fun and memories over Christmas break!

Christmas Programs...

This year, both Kensley and Madelyn had Christmas programs at school. First up was the first grade holiday program.  Kensley's group did such a great job and she really enjoyed singing with her friends.

 

  

 

Maddy had her first Christmas program and she did so great!  I wasn't sure what to expect, but she did all the motions and sang all the words!  Her class did Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and The Virgin Mary.



Thanksgiving...

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we traveled over to Ohio to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Brauchler side of the family.  We stayed in the red waterslide hotel and the kids had a blast playing with their cousins. 

 

Some pictures of the weekend...

The Grandkids

We spent Thanksgiving at Nana and Papa Brauchler's with the Zurchers.  I only took a few pictures.

 

No, it's not Christmas.  Nana and Papa always get the grandkids one gift at Thanksgiving.

Had to capture this one...Emmy voluntarily went to Jeremy to sit on his lap...I think he was helping her with something.

Maddy talked Grandma Zurcher into getting down on the floor with her to play tea party.
