Even tho I didn’t get to go to Winter Youth Retreat, the rest of the family had a great time. Trevor had a wonderful time teaching/preaching, and meeting new youth. Glorianna and Azariah loved everything about it and had a great time hanging out with friends. This was some of our local youth’s first time…

Christmas Eve / Christmas Day
We had planned our family Christmas for Christmas Eve, because Zion and Camille were spending Christmas Day with her family. But this did not go as planned.

The Northern Lights
On November 11, we got to see the Northern Lights. It’s very rare that we can see them this far south, but God is amazing and decided to show us His beautiful handywork. It did not disappoint. At first we could not see it with just the naked eye, so we took lots of pictures.…

Yearly Trip to Hubers
This year, Trevor and I once again went to Huber’s. We have taken the kids the last couple of years but they were all busy with other plans this year, so just the two of us went. It was colder this year, so we didn’t end up staying as long as we usually do. We…
