Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas morning at church

Twenty-two people and three dogs...things get a little crowded! 



Our "ooh"ing and "ahh"ing section.


  MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

  We all had a fantastic Christmas! We enjoyed going to church on Christmas day then sharing a few days with family in Maine! While we all enjoy exchanging gifts, nothing could ever be more of a joy then the greatest Gift God gave to us. Even though Christmas can get busy with preparations I hope that you kept Christ in your CHRISTmas.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

Surprise 25th Anniversary!

The Rofes were here a few days before the party so they helped us make banners when the parents went out!

They were pretty surprised!



Still very much in love ;]


A huge thank you to Mrs. Panzanella for making the cake! It not only looks amazing but it was SO yummy! :D







Mr. Tamburro giving all the men advice on what to put down for their answers ;]

We played a "How well do you know your Spouse?" game.

We want to thank all those that came to our parent's surprise party and made it so special! The party helped send them off on their second honeymoon and they had a fantastic time in Amish country! We also want to thank all those that couldn't come but sent their love and prayers!
Thank you all! :D

Planting Season! :]


Team work is how it gets done!

I believe these are pepper plants.


Noah cooling off the dog. ;]


There's nothing like cold lemonade after working hard in the garden on a hot day.


This nifty gadget is a planter.
I asked dad what vegetables Grandpa Kinney had used it for and he replied: "Mostly turnip."
I guess Grandpa would have to have a tool to plant so much turnip....
No wonder dad hates turnip. ;]





After a long winter there's nothing like feeling the dirt under your feet.

Yeah. . . mom doesn't like it as much when we go inside with dirty feet ;]




The men! My brothers are growing up so much!
Leroy is way taller then me and Caleb isn't far behind!

Planting/Gardening is one of our favorite things to do together as a family. Its not only the sweat, manual labor, working together, and getting dirty; but its the wonderful outcome of what the plants produce. To see that tiny seed go into the ground then with water and nurturing (and a whole lot of weeding) it springs up and produces fruit. . . and vegetables. ;]
We pray that our efforts here on earth produce as much fruit for His glory.
