Photos of Friends

We didn't get photos of everybody we saw on our Christmas vacation, but I thought I'd make a quick post to show the ones we did get.

The Bush family in Kansas City

L-R: Dave holding shy Tanner, Josh, Danny, and Braedon seated on the floor. Anne was not shown 'cuz she ran off to a hair appointment. It was amazing to see how big their boys are. We totally want to go back and see them again as well as the sites around Independence.
The Yskes Family

The kids from L-R: Meghan, Elisabeth, Madeleine, Ian, Zachary with
Janet and Joe in the back. Janet was such a trooper since just having surgery on he neck vertibrae. I was amazed at how well Zach played the keyboard at church! Keep on practicing Zach.

The Zach MacPherson Family

Zach is standing behind the twins, Jacob and Makayla , and Lori holding Abigail. It's been rumored that Lori is finally completely and totally in love with Michigan....right Zach?

The Ryan MacPherson Family

L-R: Joshua, Emily holding Rachel, Jaxen, Ryan holding Morgan, Gracie. Morgan is the oldest and she had her 4th birthday on December 26, 2008. WOW!! It's like somebody threw water on Emily and poof they were suddenly buried in kids! When we had Daniel (our 5th) the MacPhersons didn't even HAVE kids.....and now they have 5!!! Emily, you're hair looks great. You've had a lot of styles and I like this one the best. Another shot of John and Tammie Wiersema this time doing their "SNL Spartan Cheerleader" imitation. It was hard to look out their windows and see how run-down our old house looks. It was really quite a nice little oasis when we lived next to them. Hey John, if I move back to Michigan I'll get you a respectable snow blower!We had a little dinner party at the Var's house. Another good (rare) picture of Amy. Sadie, Daniel and Rachel all got matching sweaters and hats. It was cool to visit Holland and eat some of Sister Var's spring rolls with Thai sauce. What a treat!The Robinson Family

L-R: Brent, Tyler, Ryan, Kaylie, Suzanne

Hey Brent, your hair really does look okay.....sans gel! Thomas sure had a blast with your boys and Kaylie's got you wrapped around her finger. Good job with the choir Suzanne :-)Brother and Sister Mao look just like how we left them in 2006....smiling and content with the world. We watched Brother Mao baptize his grandson on Sunday. What a great event for them. Beautiful Vicky Var seated with mom and dad. Wow Vicky! we never knew you had so many musical talents. Thanks for sharing :-)
