Bud got in on the fun too!

school christmas play

atlee's school had their christmas play a few weeks ago and it was entertaining (as always). this year her class wore red shirts with hand painted snowmen....courtesy of mrs. kristy. atlee and her classmates "performed" 2 songs.....they basically yelled the words of the songs and banged around some homemade tamborines....it was music to our ears! we had 2 cameras and were snapping away, but the lighting was horrible so none of the "performance" was captured clearly. so, here are a few family pics after the show.....

gramee, nana, and the show-stopper

christmas wrap-up

christmas this year is one we will always remember....from traveling in the blizzard, to being snowed in at the lake, to finally sliding into wf and somehow making it to our christmas celebrations.....but the one thing we will forever remember is our baby girl sitting in the backseat singing "happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you....happy birthday dear jesus....happy birthday to you!" i hope everyone enjoyed their christmas and celebrated the birth of jesus just like we did!
