Christmas Day!
















Christmas day was spent with my family in northern Maine. Dad had to do his yearly Christmas eve service and so he and Seth sent mom, myself and Mayne north early because of forcasted bad weather and they headed up after the service. The 3 hour trip took about 5 hours because of severe icing. It was crazy bad weather but God kept them safe and gave them some sweet conversation at the same time. Seth mentioned that it was one of his favorite time in being back east. Here are a few glimpses of Christmas at our place!

Traditions...
















One of our family traditions is a christmas season lobster feed. Seth loves it since lobster is hard to come by in Montana. I seem to be the only one who doesn't join in the lobster tasting (but i always help to pick the bodies). It is a great time. Even the little ones are now getting in on the action. (Then their are the naps that inevitably follow a good meal) Mayne and Papa just making the most of thier time together!

Christmas with Family in Mass






















On The East Coast Again..













Here are a few glimpses into our time on the East Coast. We headed back around the 2nd week of December to spend time with family over the holidays and to connect with supporters and friends. The time was filled with many hours of travel and countless conversations of camp and what is going on in our lives (can you tell that it was getting old talking about ourselves)...but it was also filled with fun Christmas memories with family and many sweet interactions with old friends and people who are incredibly supported and invested in the ministry of Yellowstone Alliance Adventures.
