As we get closer and closer to Christmas day, we have had so much fun celebrating many things this month. Here are some December highlights we haven't blogged about yet! Our church held a fun family event to learn more about the story of Jesus birth and spend time together! Our children's ministry is so fantastic and these teachers just know exactly how to reach children for Christ. Such a fun day learning about Jesus! We all made our own mangers! The kids had a fun time with this and it was a great memory maker for all of us.  Thankful for a wonderful church family.   Micah's D.A.R.E. graduation day! I can not believe he is in 5th grade already?!?!  Proud of you man.... now no drugs for you!!!  Caleb, Jacob, and I decided to go see the movie "Star" it was a great date night for the 3 of us while the other boys were at basketball practice.

We are so thankful Grandma and grandpa Stegeman are living in Columbia Heights now!! It has been so much fun to stop in and see them! Take a peak at our 1st visit bringing the boys with. Caleb warmed right up to Grandma and loved pushing her around. I love his bubba smile. It’s the smile that says his heart is feeling so good. 😊I love Caleb’s heart for others, especially his family. You are the sweetest my man. Whole group shot! It was so special reconnecting the boys to their great grandparents. How lucky they are to enjoy these moments with them. Listening to them laugh and talk to us and see how they move around and where they live was so fascinating to the boys. So many observations afterwards was really sweet and fun. We will be back soon because they stole a very special place in our hearts in this one visit. We love you and cherish you both. Grandma Vickie- 87 years old  Grandpa Vern-90 years old  ❤️

These are some of the coolest pics from last weekends basketball tournament in St Croix Central!  We lost the 1st game but had some great defense. Elk Mound was just a stronger team. It was our first game of the season so the boys had some warm up to do. Winning the next 2 games put the boys in 2nd place overall. Pretty nice for the 1st tournament!! Drew’s team has 4 more tournament weekends after Christmas! It’s going to be a fun season to cheer for!! They’re getting taller and bigger and the talent is greatly improving! Fun stuff and ribbons to show for it. 🏅  Proud of you Drew! It’s “go time” again after Christmas!! 🏀 Nana and Gg got to see some great games. Glad they could join us!!! 🏀#2place  Drew- 12 yrs old 1st tournament
