On Dec. 11th was Shelby's Joy school Christmas program. They performed they nativity story from Luke 2. It was at our house and I was in charge of the lessons prior to the program. whew was I glad to have this set of lessons behind me. It was fun seeing them all perform the story and sing their songs. Shelby was the cutest Mary I have ever seen. She loves to perform unlike the little angel Camille who all the sudden had a bad case of stage fright. All and All it went very well and I was a proud mom and teacher.
December 22nd my Mom came and stayed for a few days while her husband had knee surgery. Before she was able to get her hair done I put her to work helping me get ready for Christmas. It was fun having her here and it the kids had fun spending time with Grandma Janice.
On Christmas eve, we went to my sister Gwen's for a family Christmas party. Once again she went all out and put on a good spread. We walked away full and happy. We had a Christmas program this year where every family had to participate in either telling a Christmas story or singing songs. After the Christmas party we had more family vistors come stay at our house. My dad, Ivan and his wife, Julie came for Christmas this year and it was lots of fun to have them. Casey was also glad that my dad was here to help him put together some of the presents. The kids were real excited for Santa to come, especially Kolby. He did not want to go to sleep. He said he was too excited to close his eyes ,he also kept saying he thought he could hear Santa and has he come yet. Finally they were all asleep and Santa did come. Though they did not go to bed on time they certainly did not sleep in at all. They were up early and very excited. After checking out their stockings they came running into our room, "mom, dad guess what Santa came!!!" We hurried and ate our traditional breakfast of scrambled eggs and cinnamon/orange rolls and opened presents. We were all spoiled this year and it was very fun.
I think Dad and Julie really enjoyed seeing how excited the kids were Christmas morning. They said it was fun to see the magic of Christmas to little kids, which is easy to forget when you don't have little ones around.
We had a big delicious lunch of ham, funeral potatoes, rolls, greenbeans casserole, jello, relish tray and a yummy ice cream dessert. It was scrumpshish if i do say so myself.
We played with our new toys all during the break and pulled around the sled with the 4 wheeler. I even talked Casey into letting me pull him on the sled too. Boy that was a sight to see. The kids sure enjoyed having Grandpa here for a while. Cooper found in Grandpa a good buddy that he wasn't going to let leave. He followed him around everywhere saying ganpa. While dad was here he also taught Cooper to say, "you bettcha". Which Cooper says, "cha cha". Its the cutest thing. Cooper sure is tring to get big and is so much fun to have around, he is just so full of life.
