Mike and the Kids

Here are some holiday pictures of Mike with Collin and Hayley -- a couple of really cute kids.

Christmas Cookies

It's a family tradition for everyone to get together and bake and decorate Christmas cookies. Here are some pictures of everyone hard at work -- including Collin!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We have two trees in our house, one upstairs and one downstairs. Amy and Nate brought Collin and Hayley over to help us decorate the downstairs tree. Here's proof!

Quick Visit to Winona

On our way back from Indianapolis we dropped Laura off at Winona and dropped in for a quick visit to see Kristi and Tof's new apartment. Here's what it looks like!

Thanksgiving at the Millers (2)

The day after Thanksgiving Amy and Nate brought Collin and Alethia to visit Mike's parents. Here's the photo documentation!

Thanksgiving at the Millers (1)

We traveled to Indiana for Thanksgiving this year. The first of our two Thanksgiving was at the Miller homestead, with Mike's parents Pat and Norm and his sister Melanie, brother-in-law Dennis, and nephews Ben and Alec. (The two Bens really liked those big bottles of fake wine!)

Thanksgiving at the Frenches (2)

More photos from the French's Thanksgiving. It's a big family!

Thanksgiving at the Frenches (1)

Here's the first batch of photos from the French family's Thanksgiving day -- actually held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. A fun time was had by all.

Collin and Kaylee (Video)

Let's try something different. Here's a short video of Collin playing with Kaylee -- listen to him laughing!

Craft Day in Winona

Today was craft day in Winona for the girls. Alethia modeled her lamb costume. Hayley loved it.

Halloween

Halloween is always a fun time for kids. Here are some pics of Hayley and Collin in their Halloween outfits; Hayley is a bumblebee and Collin is his favorite Sesame Street character, Elmo.

Collin at Home

Here are pictures of Collin and his new Elmo sprinkler; his Curious George sweatshirt; and showing off his very first "belt." (He likes to watch Mike get dressed in the morning, especially putting on his belt; this was a big deal for him.)
