Courtney and Cim invited us for supper at their house tonight. We had a delicious pasta dish and a chocolate cake with delicious icing.
The best present I got was when Courtney and Cim gave me a card. Inside it broke the news that they were expecting in September! The best early birthday present ever!

Carolina left me some sweet notes.

Then, the next day a major winter storm hit and we were indoors for a couple of days.

The wind finally died down enough to venture out with the camera. Walking was quite treacherous on the snow and random patches of ice, but the light and colors of the icy scenes was too tempting to pass up.
Here’s some other wonderful pictures from earlier in the month that we shot out the window on the way into Matador to church.

We were so excited to be among the first group in Lubbock to see the new Star Wars movie. It was amazing. We had a great day in Lubbock shopping and eating out, too.
Waiting to get in the theater
Bored now…
Ready for the show to start.
At the Imax 3D, the characters really jump out at you.

We had a very fun group assembled at the Pringle’s in Wilson today. Sunny invited a family from Germany that is in Texas attending the Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock. Melissa brought a friend of hers who was visiting, and we got to know Kevin’s brother and his family who have moved to Idalou from Montana.

Stockton has become quite the hunter. He got a whitetail ten-point buck and a nine-point mule deer buck in a 24-hour period.
Way to go, Stockton!
We really enjoyed getting to see Atlanta and Jordan and the kids before Thanksgiving. They couldn’t stay long, but we loved every minute.
Isn’t Alan growing?

After the Harvest dance, our friends, the Paynes, stayed over with their camper. The moms and kids all took a walk down to the windmill and an overflow pond.
