Christmas Part 2

Each Christmas Eve we spend the evening with Chad's family. We eat dinner, play games, tell stories, and open gifts. By the time the activities are wrapped up, the girls are tired and ready to go home to bed. It was a great time had by all.

Gingerbread Houses

The girls made Gingerbread Houses at school and couldn't wait to show off their works of art. Great job girls!

Cooper wanted to eat her gingerbread house the minute she got home.

Daddy went to school to help Campbell make her gingerbread house. What a great team.

Flute Solo

Cooper's flute instructor arranged a recital at a local nursing home for the students to practice their Christmas songs. This year was special, as Cooper had a solo song. She was nervous, but performed so well for her first solo. Chad's family was able to come and see the show. What a great day!

Christmas Part 1

Having Four Christmases is a unique experience. We started our first with my sister and my dad. Here are a few favorites of the girls.

Campbell and her AG dog "Chocolate Chip"

Cooper and her Crayon Maker

This year I made my sister a tree skirt. Two days work and some professional embroidery. I think it turned out great!

Family Photos

Each year our family, my dad & Marie, and my sister's family get together at my sister's house to celebrate Christmas. Always a good time, spent eating, drinking, and laughing. The kids enjoy playing together, while the adults visit and catch up. We open gifts and make plans for the upcoming year. This year was the first year to have Christmas at Kelly & Pat's new house. Merry Christmas!
