A sweet Saturday

If it's Saturday in December there must be holiday bazaars to take in!

We first went to Hamilton's Elks Lodge where the Bitterroot Humane Society was holding it's annual Cookie Walk. Such a great variety of treats to bring home!

Today was also the annual bazaar for the Stevensville High School Booster in the school gym. What a fun way to take in the holiday spirit!

A musical night

One of our church's members is the band director at the Stevensville School and tonight we enjoyed ourselves at the concert of the various ensembles.

Pastor Claus

Belinda found a vendor personalizing Santa hats at a bazaar in Missoula this weekend so Charles sported his new look Sunday morning!

More bazaars

Florence-Carlton School bazaar

Porter Middle School bazaar

Hellgate Elementary bazaar

A Cracker Barrell repast

 We took in three more craft bazaars today, one in Florence and two in Missoula. It was such fun taking in the sights as December began!

Ready for Christmas

 We're all set for the holidays and Wesley is on the job, making sure that the tree doesn't go too far!

Professional artist in the house

Charles received his check from the University of Montana Foundation today, payment for the three paintings he sold which are now hanging in Eck Hall!

Happy Tweny-first Anniversary

We enjoyed our 21st anniversary with the annual visit to the amazing bazaar held in the Corvallis school gyms. Last night's snow, about 1/2" here in town, was not enough to give us pause!
