Christmas Parties, Programs, and Santa

This was the Christmas present to my parents from the grandkids

*yes, it was quite difficult, we wanted to have our dog Trixie in the picture as a sheep, but she wouldn't cooperate

Church Christmas Party

The primary kids got up and sang a couple songs, we could not see Jonah, he was in the back, but we got a picture of Mikelle

The Christmas Tree

The kids decorated it all by themselves, you can tell because the ornaments are only on the bottom half, but they had so much fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Matt was here for 10 days and my Grandma was here for a little while too. It was really good to see both of them, and Matt only has about 3 1/2 weeks left in Chicago, so we did the long part (7 weeks) already.
