A Month or so....in review.

Reece's Baptism:

*YAWN* "I'm a bit tired today, can I get baptized another day?"

What do you mean they're gonna dump water on my head, can't you see I'm already a bit chapped?! (poor guy has very dry skin! not for lack of lotioning though!)

The Annual Rottschafer Christmas Tree Hunt!


This was the year of tree toppers- the Heemstras and the Harveys went home with just the tops of a tree- a tree that would normally be too tall except that other people had chopped off the bottom branches making only the top useable. Surprisingly, they make beautiful Christmas Trees!

Welcome to the Belfast Christmas Party!!
Belfast Babes. Like our sweaters?!

Please ignore the effect primary-colored horizantal stripes has on my body...unfortunately it's not flattering!

(For you photography buffs out there- why do my jeans look all digital-y?)

Belfast Boys :)

Grace and Jeff were a matching set. Kinda like their sweater vests and turtle necks.

Kristin with her Charlie Brown Tree for Talia- a taste of our White Elephant Gift Exchange.

Grace modeling their gift- a lovely Santa wall hanging.

Ho Ho Ho.

Rottschafer Extended Family Christmas Party

Miss Molly was none too happy about having her picture taken under the tree.


Reece says: "Yay! Presents!"

"They're for me...right?"

Like all of my neices and nephews Molly just loves me. You'd be hard-pressed to rip her from her auntie's arms...

The kiddos with their slinkies! The most fun for 99 cents.
