Cairney Christmas


We went to a Drake basketball game on New Years Eve and Ben was given this little "Spike" whom he is now permanently attached too - very cute! GO Bulldogs!


Kate and Uncle Jeff with her very own Hawkeye "Boo-er" She is really brown nosing by wearing her hawkeye gear.



Ben loved his new race track and remote control car - thanks Cairney West and Papa and Grandma


The moon sand that she loves - it is cool stuff!

I sit here this evening and watch it snow yet again. Even though it is beautiful, I quickly want to go check my friend Stephanie's blog and read about another weekend spent at the beach in Florida. It looks alot warmer there! But at least I can live vicariously at the ocean thru the Paulson family right???
Anyway, it is gorgeous and I am quickly reminded of the beauty that god creates thru a fresh layer of snow on the ground. I especially enjoy the fun that it brings all of us as we get to play in it!
We were blessed with another wonderful weekend with family last weekend as we celebrated Cairney Christmas in Indianola - thanks again to Dick and Celie for being such gracious hosts and preparing such fabulous food all weekend! A fun time was had by all......and once again reminds us that we just don't get together often enough - the kids are all getting so big - 10 total with ages ranging from 4 - 15.

Ben,

Go Speed Racer go! Just remember he is not as good as Jeff Gordon.

Kate,

Remember, Uncle Jeff said the 'boo-er' is for 'booing' the Hawkeyes! Only kidding. :)

Again no comments on the facial hair. Keri, how much longer can you let it continue!!!!

Keri,
You are so sweet to mention us here in Florida and you always have a free place to stay! Next winter you will definitely have to plan a visit to thaw out. We love and miss you guys. Great pictures of the cousins! How fun to be all together. In God's love, Stephanie
