Eventful Holidays....

Our Christmas season started on December 15th this year with Littlejohn Christmas in West Plains.

We had a great weekend there. Christmas on Saturday, Church and Evie's birthday party on Sunday and then back home. These children are spoiled rotten by their grandparents....yes, we get it from both sides of the family. We're very thankful to have two great sets of grandparents to love Faith.

Faith had her first school concert on Monday night. She looked very beautiful in her dress and did well with singing. This video is one of the songs they performed, this is the K4 class.

Tuesday was her school Christmas party and she was out for Christmas break at noon that day. She will return to school after the new year.

We had an impromptu suprise birthday party for Sam on Sunday. He knew that they were staying with us Sunday night, however, he didn't know that Jon & his family were there and Susie's sister and her family were there, so he was really suprised.

Monday, Christmas Eve, we spent with my family.

I don't have a picture of everyone together, so I'll just post a couple random pictures. My Dad decided to get the kids a 4 wheeler to ride at his house and that was the biggest excitement of the evening. We opened gifts, sang some karaoke and ate a lot. It was a great evening.

Our Holidays are always full of hustle and bustle, but it is worth it when you get to see so much of your family. We don't get to see some of the family as often as we would like, so the holidays are a true blessing to bring everyone together.
