Winter Time with Caleb

Another cold and dark winter seems to to dragging on! We are ready for sun and warm but that might be a few weeks away yet! We all try to get outside even if it is cold.

Caleb still home with mom on Mondays and Wednesdays. Loves video games and Mario

He wanted a pizza making kit for Christmas and loves pizza rolls!

I got to spend some time with him at Blandford looking for animal tracks and scat.

Michigan State Game

Luke asked for Michigan State tickets for Christmas. He was able to go with Ryan, Levi and Grandpa Koopmans. They were all decked out in their State gear and had a great time!

Christmas Break

                                             We had a fun time over Christmas Break!

Traditional Fricano's Pizza over Christmas Break. Took a ride to Grand Haven to see the big waves.

Luke got glasses!

We did a 1000 piece Michigan puzzle.

The kids got new helmets for sledding.

We went to Soaring Eagle with the Koopmans. Always a fun time together!

Levi Orchestra Concert

Levi had his first cello concert this year. He played about 10 songs and the last one was in the dark with glow sticks. He does not practice much but they sounded really good!

Christmas 2019

We had a fun Christmas with really warm temperatures and no snow. We had Maci sick on Christmas and Levi and Maci both home for the Koopmans Christmas party with sore throat, fever and headaches. The weather was sunny and 55-60 degrees!

Levi and Maci in church skit on Wednesday night party at church.

Maci said a line in the church program on Sunday. And Lo the angel of the Lord upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them. She did great!

We hosted Roedema Christmas so warm and sunny. We had a bonfire outside.

Nutcracker Ballet

We went to the Nutcracker Ballet with Grandma Roedema and the older cousins. We had fun taking pictures and going to the show. They were not sure what to think at first but ended up liking the program. Maci liked the Russian dancers the best and Levi like the toy soldiers. We went to get hot chocolate after wards and then went to the Amway to look at the big Christmas tree.

December Events

We went to the Coopersville Santa Claus parade. It was a pretty mild night we had a chance to try chesnuts and did not like them very much. We had hot chocolate and a donut. We had the kids meet the Grinch. Caleb was scared at first but then was ok when he saw that he had candy.

We also had the last Preschool Program of the kids at West Side Chr. Caleb was proud and sang the songs well. His favorite song was called the Star of Bethlehem.
