Ohio Christmas

Ohio christmas this year stretched into over a week of rest and being.  We were really glad to get to take in a great rendition of A Christmas Carol, adapted, directed, and performed (Scrooge) by Isaac.  Everyone did great! 
We spent quality time with both the Fisher and Kempton extended families, shared homemade stockings with Betsy's family, hardly changed diapers or cooked:)  Betsy read church history, had some great talks with family, celebrated Mama's birthday; Philip read the whole 'Into the Wild', made a massive collage, played some basketball, played Scrabble with Grandma Fisher and Aunt Kathy; we went to see the Hobbit with Laura and Isaac, visited Laura's workplace, met with Wilbur and Shirley...
good times.








Philip super excited with a regift of sorts.

Beautiful Ice & A Snow Day

We have enjoyed some beautiful ice and snow these past few weeks! 
Enjoy a few pics from around our house!
(I would have loved to venture further but had to get to work)

Favorite!

 
And then a snow day!
Betsy, Bek, Mom, Lila, Jared, and Soren made a Dewey Bun day of it!
 


 
 
 
 
 
The final result was so tasty and festive in front of the manger scene!

Fisher Rhodeses, Ewings, & a Cabin

We got to enjoy a little time away with the Ewings in November.  
At the good ole Kanagy cabin just beyond Harman, WV.
Beautiful foggy meadow




Great spot for romantic couples to read aloud to each other

A little Take 2, a little singing
