Christmas in the Burow Home 2015!!!!

Doing a tour of downtown Afton, MN. A quaint little town that we moved from a few years ago. Josh works for the Afton Inn during the summer time. We love to eat at the restaurants there and sit around a fire pit. A little too cold for that now, but they put on quite the Christmas Celebration. We were there when they did the town lighting...

Getting a fun horse drawn wagon ride up and down the streets to see all the shops lit up.

let the decorating begin.

Every year Zack HAS to make sure Mr. Snowman is on three tree. It is a MUST...no christmas without him.

Finished Product

No Christmas would be complete without Zack's collection of nutcrackers...

The dad smile. Do I really
have to get a picture....Hurry
up and take it look..

NICK TURNS 13!!!!

Nick turned 13 and all he wanted to do was go eat as much Sushi as he can. When they found out it was his birthday, they gave him a really large apple dumpling with ice cream and caramel. Sushi tango is the best. We frequent there so they are good to us...

My baby is thirteen today!! A sad day for us parents as we enter the realm of all teenagers in the house or should I say teenangers....

Nick loves pineapple juice so I attached a balloon with I am sad you are 13 now. Getting so big and grown but he loved the sad, pathetic, shrunken balloon face. He still has it in his room.

This is one of the sweetest people I know and the most thoughtful. He is working on a present for Nana and Papa for Christmas. I am so proud of him. I am so lucky to have him as my son. I thorougly enjoy him!!

Just chillin at a coffee shop. Such a teenager now...

Nick being Nick!!!mo

Mom and Nick on a trip to Home Depot. Always playing around and being silly...LOVE IT!!!

Field trip with Nick's World Religion class

Mary Smith (whom Mom takes care of) was with us along with the rest of Nick's class visiting the St. Paul Cathedral ...

Nick at the Cathedral. It is sooooo beautiful and big...

Out to lunch at Cosetta's after the tour...

Nick's teacher Mrs. Henshen....

Zack Turns 15!!!!!I

I can't believe my little boy has turned 15 !!!He is such a sweet and quiet boy! Hoping that lasts through all his teenage years! Here's praying so!!!

He loves his dog!!! I am so glad we have Zack as our son and CJ..

Zack and his buddies over for his birthday. He wanted a small celebration...He is quiet in that way. Never wants to make a big deal about anything. I hope in the long run that is a good trait. I would like to say he is humble, but it may be he is just quiet...anyways, we love him and are so glad he is our son...His diabetes has slowed his growth some, but I am sure he will catch up...

Standing in Line to get FREE Ritas for a year!!

THEY LOOK THRILLED DON'T THEY?

So we stood in line for hours to get a years worth of Free Ritas Italian Ice and we did it.!!! It was cold and rainy but we survived and now we have a whole summer to use up 365 ritas!!!

Josh's Utlitmate Frisbee league Team

Josh joined a league in River Falls Wisconsin against several teams, like 40 or so teams. This was not a christian league, but Josh's team was. They place 5th in the league, which is not bad considering this the first year many played. Most of these boys go to Teens for Christ with Josh. All realllly good guys and most are on fire for God. I love to see them pray before each game. Titus up front and on the left is called the gazelle because he can leap super high and catch just about anything thrown to him. Chaz up from on right is a sweet, nutty crazy guy who gets everyone riled up. Reese the one the in the second row with the hat, was the team captain. A few Edward kids from our old neighborhood in Afton. just a really cool team. the back left is Joe. Joe helps Josh get his car all spiffied up. they work together on them adding sound systems etc.  and Josh is the 3rd from the right in the back row. getting so tall.. 6 foot now..I can't wait to go to the games next spring. They have officially called ultimate frisbee a sport in the olympics. Josh has plans to join the leagues the next three seasons. River falls is a 40 minute drive, but OH WELL...
