Dad brought home these crazy teeth from work, and Emily had a blast.

Mary didn't know what all the hype was about.

Daddy is one crazy guy!

Christmas Party with the Girls from the V

The first Saturday in December I got together with some old friends. We have been getting together for like 11 years and we've all changed so much and grown, but still remain close. Mary went with me to the party.

These pictures are about 6 weeks old now as I post them. Mary loves her rice cereal with mama's milk in it.

Adrian College Hockey at U of M Stadium

Adrian College made history in December 2010. The hockey team played at the Big House - University of Michigan's stadium. Jim and I went and froze at the game, but Adrian brought back another victory and shut out 3-0. I'm so proud to be part of Adrian College as an adjunct professor and alumni.

Jim and I after the game, notice the free hat Jim has on, we got free hats at the game. They gave them to the first 5600 fans!

Putting up the Christmas Tree

This year Emily was really into Christmas and putting up the tree. It was the first year that we could hand her ornaments and she could put them on the tree without any help. Of course we had a few spots that were overloaded with ornaments, but that is what makes the tree so special.
