Seasonal Celebrations!!!

This last week was spent full of activity. We started it off with the kids being in the Christmas Pageant at church. It was very low key, just some songs and narrations. Kind of nice for a change from the big production This was the first year all three actually wanted to do it. I think Miriam would've opted out had it not been for her siblings being on board.

I really backed off from school and only did a couple of subjects as well as having the kids work on crafts for family and friends. Wed. we have a bible club called AWANA and we caroled at convalescent hospital and retirement mobile home park.

John's school had their Christmas program on Thurs. night which the kids and I usually attend with him. This year we had to stay home because Levi caught a yucky cold (no fun at this age!!!).

Friday night we caroled to our neighbors and took them little crafts we made. "Daddy" is home for 2 weeks, YEA!!! Saturday evening we went down to Fresno to pick up some last minute Christmas and Birthday (Abby) gifts and had dinner with our dear friends Sue and Chandler West ( They were my youth group leaders in high school). They are so good to my kids. They took them to see Christmas lights and then we had dessert and gift exchange.

I'm frantically trying to get the last few gifts made. So, Bye for now. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas filled with memory making moments.
