Daddy's Birthday

Daniel's birthday is always fun for the kids because Mommy always goes and buys Silly String to shoot at him when he gets home from work:) Not sure if Daddy likes it but we sure do!!!

Starry Nights

This has become one of our favorite things to do at Christmas time...to see Starry Nights. Each year we invite some friends over to have dinner and then we bring our favortie candies to make candy bags. This year was some great candy and very full bags. I'm not sure if the candy or the lights are the best part?

Hilarious, the camera flash was too bright for his eyes:0

Christmas Parties

Here are a few pics from the kids class parties. Andrew's class decorated cookies and played musical gifts ( kinda like musical chairs where you pass the present).

Ms. Brenda loved her AL gifts from Andrew:)

Piper enjoyed her cupcakes and she also sang Jingle Bells with the other students for all the parents:)

Commercial Break:)

Thought I would put in an advertisement....

Andrew has completed his first sememster of Karate Class. He takes his Class on Friday afternoons at school and really enjoys it:) He also broke another board!

Christmas Luncheon Honoring our Widows

Today was our Christmas Luncheon at church. I was apart of a smiliar luncheon when I was a child and I have now begun it at our church. Andrew and Piper along with their friends sing Christmas Carols for entertainment and then we enjoy a wonderful lunch. They also help Nana do a craft then pass out the favors. There was about 150 people in attendance this year. It is a great time to spend with these beautiful people.

Oh Christmas Tree...
