Silly faced presents, free food, Christmas hats, MORE SNOW!!!!, baby snowman, and Kitty Kitty

 Here is Taden's present to his Uncle Ross and Grandpa Ripp.




I got a fruit basket from Maranda, and then we were greeted at my parent's house with carolers who brought cookies, and free authentic El Salvador tamales from our friends Carlos and Leonor Gongora.






We got about 4" of snow Christmas Eve at night.







We went to our friend's home Marlene and Lloyd Breaden. She has a pet "Kitty Kitty". Lilly kept asking for her kitty, not knowing that Kitty Kitty is actually a Bearded Dragon. Here it is for the splendor of all to behold.

A blessing, 2 new family members, and a snowstorm.


After 7 months Grandpa Dave was finally able to visit. It worked out great because it also was the day of Taden's 4th birthday. From top left to bottom right, Bishop Meservy, Grandpa Dave and Thomas Gideon/Goliath, Grandpa Miller, Myself, Brother Trusty, bottom, Brother Whitaker and Brother Scott. Brother Leclere also participated but had to leave before the picture.




For Tadens birthday we decided to add two new family members.  You can meet them below.



                                                                          Meet Squeeski.

It took until almost the middle of December but snow finally has met southern Indiana. This is a view of my father's house with a manger that he constructed.
