Christmas 2015

We were able to spend Christmas day with my youngest daughter and her family. This was a relaxing day of opening presents, taking naps and enjoying great food.

Greta ready to open presents

Wesley also ready to open presents

Inline skates were a hit


I really like this picture


Received family pictures


Granny Randi came up with wonderful handmade giftts - gloves in this case

Scarf in this case

Happy couple

Wesley was ready for a more capable bicycle so Santa found him this Raleigh Rowdy with aluminum frame and multiple gears and hand brakes. He is ready for the bike trails.


This is Sean's gift to Mandy. They raise chickens and harvest the eggs. This involves a trip to the chicken coop in the early morning and again in the evening to open and close the door to the chicken coop in all kinds of weather.

Sean created an automated process with a motorized door tied to a website that follows the changing times of sunrise and sunset and opens and closes the door at the appropriate time. There is a web cam to monitor the entire process and a light that is timed for the chicken coop.

This is shown indoors in his shop just before it was taken outside to be installed on the chicken coop. Many of the parts were 'grown' on Sean's SLA machine that he built. Truly amazing...
