Twas the Night

The Awakening ministry team presented 'Twas the Night', at the river stage before Christmas. Lots of good music(with Kellen leading worship) and the Christmas story read in between songs. Annie you were a fabulous Christmas story reader!!:)
It was a fun night!!

The Bodenhamers gathered at Roy's Uncle Lee and Aunt Sandra's this year. Lots of fun, the weather was perfect.

More wagon rides

Stella was determined to pull this full load.



Wonderful times as we all celebrated Jesus birthday and enjoyed family fellowship

Amy's getting big!!!

Last week we couldn't find Amy and I told all the children to start looking for her. Some went outside and others looked around the house. Joy went up stairs and found Amy asleep in Stella's bed. She's getting so big.

Patty saw the little's playing cards and Amy kneeling down beside them like she was playing too.:)

Annual Sausage Makingn

After grinding about 500 lbs. of meat. We stuffed about 300 lbs. and bagged the rest.

Twisting the ring before tying so no air gets in.


Some stuffed and some ground.



We had our annual sausage making last week. Roy's family gets together every year to make sausage. Lots of work, fun and good eatin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We bagged some fresh too for pan fry. Michael was in charge of rolling the bags flat after we got the air out.

And, little did we know there was a concert going on up stairs while we were down stairs working.:)

Turning guts. All the Little's help granny.
