 Proud of her stripes, nativity scene and stockings hung with care:-)

The annual VMDO Open house....one never knows...(sadly, no group pic with our buds:-( )
 


 We were not even one week into December when I felt like elf #4 
losing his grip and collapsing into #5!
 Book Club skips the book and Prime's 109 instead!  Grateful for this amazing group of stellar women.
 Thank you, Bill Stackhouse!  We always love our hand-carved nativity set---even Little Man has done the puzzle so many times now that he knows it.  So very special.

 The Nutcracker

Firetruck Santa in b/w B-ball practices....

One of my favorite Holiday Traditions----Robin's Brunch.
 What?!?!  8" in December??  This is March weather!
Nothing like 3.5 days off of school when you're trying work and create holiday surprises for them.

 Broncos in the living room living streaming via the projector = officially a football game on in every room.



 Desperate for group exercise on Day 3, we played basketball on the gym turned spa.
 ...and made 27 homemade cards to accompany gifts for shut-ins, AWANA, school and Sunday School teachers. 
 Mary Spencer!  Tells us the Christmas story via both Luke and Matthew...and dates herself, "well, I'm not yet, honey, but I'll be 98 in May."
 Wednesday night service at Simple Supper----Tom keeping Little Man in line while big brother delivers the passage from Luke that made him so famous two years ago (can we recall, "Well that must have been ACKWARD!").

Not bad for a spontaneous reading...


Good Luck in your Arizona presentation and meeting, Daddy!
Dave!
And incredible 2.5 hours of pure music.  Not a single word from Dave other than, "Thank you.  Thank you very much."     


"Oh, Joy Begin"


The two-band jam

Matthew and Mommy's Song, "You and Me Together (We Can Do Anything)"

"The Christmas Song" encore - Thank you.

4th or 5th annual Caroling at the Colonnades....my steady group remains strong!

Andrew has waited six long years to play in the Staff vs. 5th Grade basketball game----but the wait was worth it when he get Kindergarten on his side:-)  

 Staff vs. 5th Grade B-ball game---they do NOT go easy on the kids---and it is LOUD!


Come on over, Girls!
 So proud to pull his own tooth---I was feeling something quite different!
  

A very brief visit with Dody and Granddaddy, but we'll take it before they are off again (where's Em???).


LOVE it when they eagerly participate in giving away their own things to neighbors!
 Baby Shark nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.  Baby shark....
