We have a Christmas tradition started by my family. Every year each person gets to select one ornament for the tree. We carefully document each figure. Here is Abbie's this year, the critics from the Muppet Show called
Statler and Waldorf, The Muppets (currently her favorite video).
Ashleigh withe her puppy holding an ornament with 2008 on it. Ashleigh got her ornament from Carlton Cards and I cannot find the name online.
Karin putting her ornament on the tree, two little bears reading the "Night Before Christmas."
Oh, What Fun to Read
Here I am putting another one of my planes on the tree. I have consistently purchased a plane for the Hallmark line for my ornament. This year it is the
Sky's the Limit #12 - Ercoupe 415-D.
We had a Christmas program at our church again this year. Our numbers are lower than previous years. However, I was excited by the turn out to see the children. We are blessed to have someone who can play the guitar, Robert Smithpeters. Next to him, also with her back to us, is his daughter Velvet Gonzales. The children learned the Christmas songs AND the sign language to go along with them. It was impressive seeing the little children from the community sing and sign to the King.
Here is my oldest angel Ashleigh singing. Karen is right in front of her.
Abbie was so excited. She wanted to be Mary for so long. When the roles were given she was chosen to be Mary. Here she is holding baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and ready for the journey.
Here is Ashleigh "going forth."
Abbie singing and signing "peace."
