On Saturday, our entire family got together for the baptisms of my cousin's youngest daughter and our niece, Ada. We had it at the little country church where Frank and Amy got married. It's a cute little chapel and looks even cuter in the snow.
Next to the church is a historic cabin and barn. We got there a little early and took some time to explore a bit. My great grandfather donated both the butter churn and the shake cutter to the museum. My parents live in the house that was on our grandpa's dairy farm. It was cool to see some of our own family history there.

Despite (or maybe because of) the warmer temps and all of the rain, the driveway was still pretty slick. Dad had to get out the tractor to tow us out to the street so we could head out to Gresham to have supper with the Paulsons. It was so fun to see both family and friends over Christmas! We are very blessed!

RIP Goliath. :(
Poor Goliath... but it looks like you still got a lot of snow. Mine is all melted now.

We sure do get mentioned in your blog a lot but it's almost like we are not really real because there are never any pictures of us here :)
That is a gorgeous little church! The photos you took looked like Christmas cards. Looks like a lovely baptism service too. Glad to see the coldness isn't getting you down.
Blessings,
Paula
