Christmas in Michigan

Randy has Devyn the week before Christmas and she's with her mother this year for the holidays so we went up early to be with Devyn.

Devyn still loves to play cards,  lots of Kipf blood in the girl!

                                                                       Concentration!

Cookie making time, Judy did much of the work while devyn was in school as we only saw her after school.

                                        I even got to help making the chocolate coconut balls.

Here's Randy and his girlfriend, Jesse.  Looks like a ruff life huh?  Nap time.

  We celebrated Christmas on Thursday, here's Devyn with Jesse's daughter Shay.

Devyn is 15 now and can drive with her permit and an adult.  She is impatiently waiting for April and her 16th birthday to get her drivers license.  She's in the 10th grade and is already thinking ahead to taking college entrance exams next year.

She is still very serious about soccer, this last year she lost 4 balls to the underbrush near the fields they played on so she got several new ones (some un-inflated) for Christmas.

The five and a half days in Onsted went fast.  Devyn continues to beat me playing rummy.  We played a lot of Pegs and Jokers.  The weather was typical MI.....overcast, damp, and chilly.  At least we had to trouble with snow and ice.
