We haven't posted in quite a while. I apologize. We have had an eventful, but not easy holiday season. Thanksgiving was a wonderful time with family. As you will see from pictures, Crete and I went with with family to the mountains to get Christmas trees. We decided not to get one for ourselves this year because we did not have any time to enjoy it. We really missed it, though. Our Christmas visit to Shelby started off well, but Crete woke up with a fever Christmas Eve and it got quite high and persisted through the weekend. Christmas day was the worst and so we actually missed pretty much all of the festivities. Crete was too sick to see any of his gifts for a few days, even the ones from Santa. He was miserable and I was quite worried. Thankfully, he is much better now.
Sadly, we have had two deaths in the family since Christmas. My (Emily's) great Aunt Winnie passed away at 98 years of age. Lee's Aunt Janet passed away as well. We will miss both of them very much.
So, I don't have all that many pictures from Christmas, but I will post some of the ones since our last post. Hope you enjoy.

The snow suit was pretty entertaining to us, though probably not so much to Crete. He basically couldn't bend, as you can tell by this picture with Liz.


Finally getting out of the suit.

The whole gang on the hay ride.
