First part of December

December is always such a busy month for us, so I decided to break it up into two posts....not that I'm putting all the pictures that I took on here. :)  That would be painful - for you and me both. :D

But here are a few for the Grandma's that don't get to see the programs and things like that and a few others, too.

I decided to add the second skate to my window this year - I really like it this way.  See last years here.

 

 My little cherubs giving me some Christmas music.

We have had quite a time with being sick this winter and for a few days we were all home sick.  One of the days when the kids were feeling better, but weren't good enough to go back to school, we made some Christmas candy to lift the spirits. :)  Notice who's eating....?

Little Miss excited about the tree. 

Keith did an outstanding job with the program at school as he always does and it turned out beautifully this year.  These are the city gates (the boys are searchers looking for Jesus)

 They got caught by guards and ordered to leave town. (Scary guards - huh?)

 

Then the city gates open up at the end and it's the stable inside - VERY neat, but I wasn't able to get a picture of it from a distance.  (Don't you love Joseph?? *snicker*)

 Then we had a Kids Club program at church and Kristyn was the angel that came to Mary and Joseph.

 

Megan was in the multitude of angels.

  

 I love this picture. :)

 Jeren was a puppy - and Keith said he acted his part well.  I was sick, so I didn't get to go, but he said Jeren was checking out all the scenes just like a real puppy would do. :D

Owen was one of the shepherds.

 

Some of our Christmas candy that we made for the program.

Our first snow!

Our tree - before we packed up 90% of these to take to KS and OK. :)

 Our blessed little family!

We got the boys cowboy hats - they were very happy!  I don't know why my picture of the girls didn't load. (?)

We hope you had a Merry Christmas!
