Let It Snow!

The day after Christmas and we get a surprise gift...snow! Big, soft flakes flew down in flurries creating a magical world outside. Of course, we had to go out and play in it...before coming in for hot cocoa and tea! : )

Keep warm,

Stephen for the Biller Family

 

Summer, Cousin Visit

Hey, we've been doing alot of stuff this summer including having our cousins,the Ramirez's, from Virginia visit for a week last month. We had alot of fun except on their 2nd day here Benji got his head cut open during a flag football game. He had seven stitches sewed into it.He's doing fine now and has them out.Other than that he had a pretty enjoyable visit. Heres some pics ofthe visit...

This is when we had our family that lives here in Oklahoma

as well as our family from Virginia.

The girl cousins. Terah, Rachel, Cassia, our cousin Sheila (in the pink skirt), our cousin Elizabeth (in the yellow shirt) , our cousin Priscillia (in the orange shirt),and the baby Terah's holding is our cousin Abigail,which is our cousin from Oklahoma.

Nate,our cousin Alex (with the basketball), and our cousin Jacob

We played alot of games with them!

Benjamin,Ethan,Jacob,and Alex

Mug Shots

WE HAVE RETURNED!

(As you can see from the pics further below, we got into some trouble. Just kidding!)

Hey Everyone! We're back!!! = ) Yes, we've been taking one of those often mentioned blogging hiatuses.......No, it was not planned. We did not premeditate that we would not post for 6 months (half a year!); it's just how it happened. And we guess we can now excuse it as an official Blogging Hiatus. Our apologies are otherwise profuse.

The Biller family feels that a public and solemn apology is due to our faithful readers Mrs. Gloria H & Chloe for not posting, even upon request, for half a year.

Now following are the above mentioned pics of what we've been up to recently. We have appropiately titled them our "mug shots". (Notice our dissapointed father on the right side. Sorry, Dad!)

THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH:

We have actually only been working, working, working, sweating, sweating--well you get the point-- on our lastest house building project!

Until next time...............The Billers

Deck the Halls!

On Wednesday, we decorated our house for Christmas! Dad and most of the rest of the family went on a hike through our property in pursuit of the perfect tree. As usual, we had marked a tree earlier this year that we planned on making our Christmas tree. And as usual, the designated tree just didn't seem as perfect as another close by. Yes, this happens every year! = )

Here are some pics of the Christmas decorating process in our home........

Cassia enjoying the wind-up, carol singing, Christmas figurines.


Zacchaeus putting on his first Christmas ornament!

Terah playing Christmas carols on the piano while Nathanael looks on.

Rachel cleaning up the aftermath from the "Hall Deckers."

Mom also ceaning up the mess.

Benjamin doing a last-minute assembling of a candle decoration.

Wait! Leftover lights must be used! Leaving any lights unhung is a violation of Christmas law. = ) So Ethan literally "Decks the Halls" as he hangs lights above the bedroom doors in the hallway.

Everyone is now thoroughly exhausted, acting wild from too much fun, and waiting for the traditional pic of all the Biller children by the newly decorated Christmas tree.

The end of a fabulous "Hall Decking" night!!!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Snow!

Hey everybody, here's some pics of the snow that buried our yard and property over six inches deep in several places. It was amazing, beautiful, a nuisance, and the most snow we have ever seen outside of Big Bear in Cali. We have been practically snowed in since Thursday night. Dad was about the only one who could get out until last night. WOW! The bummer thing was that Mom didn't give anybody a snow day! LOL : )

Go grab a blanket and a mug of cocoa and enjoy the pics below! : )

Mike enjoyed the snow (even if Mom didn't enjoy cleaning him up afterwards! : )

Our poor little saplings in the front yard.

This is our driveway on day two (Friday) after Dad had left for work.

Isn't this shot beautiful? I really liked the contrasts of black and white.

Hope everyone's well...God bless...Stephen for the Fam
