Christmas Day 2014

Christmas Day is a busy one! It starts before dawn as we see what Santa has brought, then off to Grandma and Grandpa Millner's and lastly to the Blooms for dinner and games. We are blessed to be able to spend time with our family making more memories. It is an added bonus that we all live so close.

Church Christmas Program 2014

On the Saturday before Christmas, the kids joined all of the Sunday School children in putting on a performance of songs and readings. The birth of Jesus presented in song and word from kids from age 3 years to 6th grade. The kids are now veterans of this program so knew what to expect. As you can see Dru still needed to see what was going on with the baby. It was cute as always. We lost Dru afterwards at the cookie reception in which the pastor needed to track us down, oh the memories.

Leo seemed a little bored at first

 I love this with him among the chaos, and the other boy waving

Dru kept creeping closer to the baby and got to the closest spot

I wanted to make sure I saved this as proof for the day she isn't so fond of us.

It doesn't specify which one so it will work for either of us! HA!
