This one is from the Christmas church program I attended at Marsha's church-- the Lovell Bible Church. When the children came up to perform, out came all the cameras. So, I followed suit. It was sweet and the lambs and angels were adorable. Most of the program was an adult chorus singing Christmas music and solos and duets and trios accompanied by an instrument group: clarinets, flute, piano. It was a very festive and lovely Christmas program and I enjoyed it very much. A Christmas brunch followed immediately thereafter. That was a very tasty and pleasant experience as well.
The next day we flew to Las Vegas, spent the night there and then drove to California for Christmas week with the kids. Everyone was there except Jess' family (they moved to So. Carolina last summer) who we missed, and Fallon (Will's daughter) who we also dearly missed! It is not easy to get all 21 of us together on one day -- but we'll keep trying.
Christmas Day: this photo is obviously out of focus -- but shows Grover sporting his new cowboy hat, compliments of the grandkids. I loved that Rachel took the kids to the 99 cent store to do special gift giving shopping for us. They really gave some thought to the gifts they bought for us. Hats and scarves for our cold weather, and other useful items. They did well.
We had a lovely time in California. The weather was sunny -- in the mid to high 60s. What a nice change for Grover and I. We had minus temps both before and after our trip there. Last week it was consistently minus 5 to 10 degrees! What am I doing in WYOMING???? I said to myself when the plane touched down in a Billings storm Sunday night. The next day Grover came down with Pneumonia! He is much better today, but last week was miserable for him. No partying on New Year's Eve for us. Maybe next December 31st.
