Christmas happenings

We are definitely in the Christmas season!  We've had lots going on with more fun stuff coming up in the next two weeks.  This last weekend, we decided to go look at Christmas lights.  There is a house in town that had 100,000 (you read that correctly!) lights and was set to dance with music.  It was really neat to see! 
Saturday morning, we went to church to have Breakfast in Bethlehem.  The kids always have fun with the crafts and getting to dress up and have their picture taken.  Breakfast was delicious, and it was nice having it in our renovated fellowship hall.

On Sunday evening, Erik's work had their annual kids Christmas party. Kayleigh said she was going to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wanted. We didn't think that Brian would sit on Santa's lap because Kayleigh wouldn't get near him at that age! Kayleigh climbed right up on his lap, and Brian let him pull him up. We had a blast and the kids got

When we got home from the party, we found Tracy in her room covered with one of the pillows we keep in there.  She must have been cold!

Finally, I need to introduce you to our elf.  His name is Bobadoo Snitcharoo.  We LOVE the name Bob, so that had to be part of his name.  Erik liked the Snitcharoo part, because every night our elf flies to the North Pole to tell Santa how the kids have been behaving that day.  It's fun because each morning when we wake up, he's in a different place!  The kids love to find him in the mornings.  He's been fun to have.  I know other people who have gotten elves in their houses, and I've wanted one but never got it.  Grammy (Jan) bought him for us this year.
