Odds and Ends

Roland and I just finished the big projects we were working on so now we can devote all our attention to Christmas.

The decorations are up and my favorite this year are the evergreens I arranged in the big flower pot on the front porch.

Roland narrated the Christmas program at church yesterday and I sang in the choir with Noah. Ike sat by himself and was bored.

Ike's band concerts are done for the year. They sound great and are top in the state.



Noah has been home 2 days and cleaned the kitchen without being asked!

Right now Roland, Ike and Noah are getting hair cuts. Noah is especially hairy.

Hannah and Gabe arrive on the 23rd.

We are signed up to do a few community service projects - one involves giving presents away and one involves giving food away.

We have 2 more Christmas parties to attend/host.

My favorite Christmas album this year is Frank Sinatra and Friends. Of course Nat King Cole has been our #1 for 26 years now.
