Christmas Happenings

We ancticipated Christmas this year with many preparations and excitement! It was another special year because there is a baby in the house. Christmas always seems extra-special when there's a new baby! While she was sleeping -- We baked, baked, and did more baking, we made cinnamon ornaments, we saw 2 school programs, 1 church program, celebrated at Grammy and Papa's house, participated in the first grade Christmas party, and hosted both sets of grandparents at our house for Christmas dinner. Whew! It sure makes for a busy season -- with more to come. Chelan's brother and family get into KS tonight! We're gearing up for Christmas -- part 2!

Here are a few shots from our Christmas:

Caiden, Cambry, and Delaney with some of their gifts. Highlights were: legos for Caiden (a big tub-full) and farm equipment, an easy-bake oven for Cambry, and a glow-worm for Delaney

Playing "Trouble" with the grandpas -- we have been playing a lot of this game!

After a busy day in the kitchen, the table was set for Christmas dinner -- BBQ brisket, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry applesauce, crescent rolls, and Christmas goodies. Yum!!

Grammy reads to Delaney and Cambry before the Christmas Eve program at church!

These reindeer cookies were made by the 1st graders during their Christmas Party. One of the other moms had seen this idea, and the kids loved them!

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it. However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it. It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved. Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy. I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims. And I get to move on with my life with little disruption. I feel like I am on the outside looking in. But I guess that's okay. I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me. My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...
