Week in Review......

We had a week filled with parties, more parties, football and then our Church Christmas program. It was awesome to see the kids getting into everything and really starting to understand the true meaning of Christmas. As their mother it made me appreciate Christmas through their eyes like it was my first holiday season.

We stayed at the same hotel as the football team the day before their game. When we got to the pool there were about 10 coaches' kids playing in the pool. It was divided with the boys playing "football" and the girls hanging out. My kids went straight for the girls and they loved all the attention they got from them. Here's Hadlee...

The only picture I took at the football game...Hadlee, Alex Lehrmann, Harper and Hays. Saturday morning Hadlee decided she didn't want to be a cheerleader and I had taken just enough clothes for each child to wear to the game. Kuddos to Harper and Hays not caring about what they wore because Harper was a cheerleader and Hays wore different pants so Hadlee could wear their clothes.






The kids were sheep for their Christmas program. Here's a picture of Hadlee and Hays. Not sure what they are suppose to be doing at this point. Hays pretty much wandered from step to step, at one point he either spit or blew into the microphone....Hadlee sang her heart out the entire time.





This picture shows the beautiful backdrop that one of creative members of the church made for the program. I believe the name of the program was Shepard, Sheep and a Savior. It was a musical with speaking parts by the confirmation kids and singing by all ages. Harper loved the song "Shaggy, smelly, sheep"...She's still singing it and wants to listen to the CD.





Harper singing one of the songs. Not sure what she was doing with her arms crossed but she did that numerous times during the program. I don't know if she was trying to strike a pose or what???






They had a live nativity after the program where everyone came out to sing "Silent Night" with candles. It was truly special for the adults and the children. Here's a picture of Hays posing with the camel..





Our annual picture with Carly.








As soon as the Christmas program was over Daddy went hunting in Mason. I had my annual ornament pary on Monday night so it was all business trying to get out of Brenham on Monday. We had to get food and litter for Checkers, we even got some new canned food for Checkers that our helpers said that she loved and finished her entire plate.
