Merry Christmas!!

To those of you who I don't have addresses for, here's our picture from our Christmas card. It was just taken at my in-laws house. We'll do a professional pic later. Hey, we're all in it & smiling!! That's a plus! Jessica kept saying 'cheese', so we got all these pics with her cheesy smile. So, this was the best one.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas!! We hope that you have a happy day & remember the REAL meaning of Christmas. Jesus Christ was born on this earth to be an example to us of how we should live. His example is how I want to live my life. He died for us so that we could all live again with Him someday. I am so grateful for His sacrifice for me, my family & those around me. I love this time of year that we can celebrate His life & what he did for all of us.

Merry Christmas!!

We love you,

The Record Family

Civil War Re-enactment, Mumford, NY

We went to see a Civil War Re-enactment this summer. It was SO hot that day. I think it was 98 with 98% humidity. It was miserable!! We were going to leave early, but we decided instead to sit in the car with the A/C on for a few minutes to cool off. It was VERY hot, oh, did I already say that? =)

Wounded Soldiers

Water girls

The Whole Family. The soldiers gave them the coats to wear. I was thinking 'are you crazy?, it's 100 degrees outside & you want them to wear your wool coat?' But the kids were excited about it. Go figure. I'm a mom, I'm boring. LOL

Did I mention how hot it was?

Craig & Lisa outside the schoolhouse, it was too hot inside!

Camp

The Band-

I guess that's what they were called

Wounded soldier

LOUD Cannons-Did I mention we were sitting right by these?

Yeah, we were. I had to plug Jessica's ears everytime they fired them.

Soldiers

Matt by the cornstalks

He was so tired & hot by this point.

Everyone was ready to head to grandmas to jump in the pool after this adventure. What a hot day! Did I tell you it was hot? LOL

Hot Air Balloon

One night we saw a hot air balloon really low to the trees in our backyard. To make a long story short, they asked permission to land in our backyard. Here are some pics of the action & packing the balloon up.

Hunting season

After weeks & weeks of hunting morning & night, Craig FINALLY landed a huge buck!! He was so excited! It's a 10 pt. & he got it over on our new property. He says he still needs to get one more.

Oh brother!!
