Holiday fun

Friday the 19th was a fun day. To start things off, Caden had is holiday program that morning at school. G-pa Steve and G-ma Vicki came down the night before and were able to go watch it and Spencer was also able to stop in from work to see it all. I only had my video camera, so the pics I took are not that great of quality and I didnt get still shots of the program, I just recorded it. They sang a variety of songs... from some day to day ABC's to some patriotic...Grand Ole Flag to some Christmas songs...Santa Clause is coming to town. It lasted about 40 minutes or so and it was alot of fun to see the Kindergarten class in action. They all did really well and seemed a little nervous to start, but had proud grins when it was all over.




As soon as the girls and I left there, I took Paxton down to story hour at the town library. At the end of the hour Daisy had climbed up on a chair and it started to tip back. (I started over to catch her, but it was one of those moments you see it all happening and it seems like slowmotion, but you cant get there fast enough). So as she tipped she hit the back of another chair on the way down and now has her first shinner. It looks worse in person.


Later that night Spencer and I went to a Christmas Party hosted by the Coleman's. This was a fun filled night, we had a great time! Good food, fun games and a great time had by all.
Here is Ray carving the Ham while Rebecca made sure he did it right.

I had no doubt Spencer would be at the front of the line.

Roxanna (husband Joe was coaching a H.S. basketball game)


A quick note about Rocky (aka Roxanna). She filled the role of "game show host" and wrote up some quick questions for a game that was basically The Newly Wed game. She is hillarious and crazy and blunt and just goes for the juicy questions! It was fun, revealing, embarrassing at times and I cant remember the last time I laughed that hard or for that long! I'm glad she was there to help entertain us all.

We had a gag gift exchange and Spencer's was the funniest with the classic toilet bowl wreath. Curt and Bonnie were the lucky recipients.

As we returned home late here was our night owl Paxton still up with the babysitter.


Then Saturday night we had Spencer's squad party. Again, it was alot of fun. Games, food and fun people. Here are a few shots from that night as well.
