Happy Holidays

Ok Aunt Carol we got your message!






The Potts' family had a wonderful Christmas. We saw the live nativity (activity as Caroline calls it) The kids talked about the story of Jesus all the way home. We made cookies. This was a lot of fun, although John and I decorated most of them. We drove around looking at lights while singing Christmas carols and talking. These were some of the most memorable times. The kids got the message this year that Christmas is "not about the presents" and they told everyone. This was nice to see. John and I were very proud of them.






The Potts' family came over for Christmas eve. We watched football and talked, while the kids played. They got ready for santa by putting out milk and cookies and putting Reindeer food out for Rudolph. We read the Night before Christmas and the story of Jesus. Then it was off to bed. It took forever to get Caroline to sleep.






Christmas morning brought gifts from Santa. 3 for each just like the wise men gave Baby Jesus. Nick got golf clubs, an emergency station, and a baseball mat that hangs on the wall. Caroline got 12 dancing princesses castle, barbie, and barbie styling head. They were both very excited.






Then we headed off to L'burg. Everyone had a great time, especially the kids. Then it was off to Helen and Dave's. It was a wonderful day.






Tuesday Don, Vicki and the girls came home. So we had Christmas again. It has been a crazy few weeks, but fun at the same time. We are starting to get back into a routine.






Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!
