The fall of 2013 turned out to be a busy one filled with all sorts of fun activities. We spent a lot of time with the Rozema kids between watching them so their parents could have some adult time, Jack's 4th birthday, Halloween and Sydney's soccer games we got some quality time in with them. Gene turned 70 so we HAD to have a birthday get together for him which included friends and family. Some of which he has been friends with since he was in high school and college. Erika was inducted into the Sturgis High School Athletic Hall of Fame which was a great honor for her and our family. We are very proud of her!!! We were able to attend one of Andrews cross country meets which he did very well in and I think he enjoyed cross country this year. I can see more cross country meets in our future. Erin took a trip to Rochester, NY to get together with her dear friend Monica Taylor who she met 20 years ago while attending RIT. Neither one of them had been back on campus for 12 years. They enjoyed being back on campus. They took in a volleyball match, caught up with one of their roommates from their college days and spent some time with their old volleyball coach. We also went to visit Monica's brother who has a poultry farm. Mostly we relived a lot of great memories!!! It was a wonderful trip!
From the fall we rolled right into the holidays which were filled with fun times as well. We spent Thanksgiving with the Baker family at Scott and Michelle's house which was very nice. We attended a few Christmas/holiday parties at friends houses. Took in Sydney's Christmas choir concert, which was very good. We did our annual Christmas tree hunt with the Melchi and Bird families and the Melchi family got together to bake Christmas cookies both events were fun. On Christmas Day we spent time with both the Melchi and Baker families. It was a very festive holiday season this year. Now we are well into 2014 and so far it has been a cold one but good!
Here are some pictures from our fun filled fall and holiday season! I hope you enjoy them and everyone is staying warm during this cold winter we are all having!
