Christmas 2022

Fun bit from the holiday was Adrea reading us the Christmas letters mom used to write & send.

Gavin - Braces Free

Florida

Fred & the boys went to Florida without me this year. I couldn't ask for more time off so soon after our Greece/Croatian adventure. Sounds like they had a great week and no one got too burnt.

Big Check to Humanity Alliance

Presented our biggest check to date - $15,000 to Humanity Alliance. Greg was very shocked, amazed, and excited.

Benefit Bashers - Play Your Part

We raised money for Humanity Alliance this year & changed venues to the Chaska Event Center - quite a step up. Theme was movie characters. So many great costumes and a great time had by all and record fundraising.

Party crew - Dumb & Dumber, a couple League of Their Own characters, Elle (from Legally Blonde) & White Goodman from Dodgeball.

Coaches!

Crown of Glory represents!

Middendorfs kill it as usual!

Jacob's Senior Homecoming

We've already reached senior year and senior homecoming week. 

Jacob and band leads got to tour schools and entertain the elementary & preschool kids.

They also got to march in the Homecoming parade.

Jacob's friends Caleb & Noah, make the 6' kid look short.

Grandma found this rust colored suede jacket at a church thrift shop & Jacob took a liking to it. And he got himself a chain - this is what happens when he doesn't have a girl friend telling him what to wear.

He wasn't the only one wearing non-traditional duds.

Best buds - Brendan, Caleb, & Noah. Bobby was with his girlfriend's group.

Football Season

Wyatt enjoyed another pretty successful season of tackle football. He played mostly center, defensive linebacker & a couple tries at running back. He ended the season with broken thumb from a diving catch at his birthday party.

He did get a snazzy new helmet to protect his large head.

Sidelined with a broken thumb during playoffs.

Middendorf Girls Weekend

Fun & shenanigans with some of the Middendorf women for a weekend in Waconia. Hit a few wineries and the brewery in town. Played lots of games and had a great weekend.

Senior Pictures

We had a couple reschedules, but finally got senior pictures done. We hit some spots in Carver to get some great shots of Jacob.

First outfit, navy suit white shirt - we couldn't get the tie tied right, so we went without, really liked the look in the end.

Some adventurous spots for shots.

We did have to dodge some rain showers that night, but we powered through.

Lots of great shots:
