Hustle and Bustle

Our holiday season kicked off as soon as our feet hit the ground after Thanksgiving.  It has been an exciting and busy few weeks.  Here are some pictures of all of the things we have done and seen this advent season.



Joshua and Kami were is the Christmas play at church.  Joshua had a leading role as the bellman at "Hotel Bethlehem."  He was a little nervous, but did a great job and remembered all of his lines.




We made a beautiful gingerbread village with the neighbors Hensley and Heston.  I'm not sure which was more fun, making them or eating them.


Kamryn and I visited the enchanting Linda Summers at her home in Summerville, Georgia.  Linda is a missionary to children all over the world.  At Christmastime she decorates her entire house and opens it up to visitors.  Her home is full of treasures from all over the world and we were able to hear some of her many amazing stories of how God works through her ministry.  It was a precious afternoon and Kami was mesmerized by all of her wonderful toys!

Cousin Eddie??  Geof played the unlikely role at the neighbors' "Christmas character" holiday party. He was quite a hit!


Kami also did some role play-as Mary in her school Christmas program.  She was a very protective mother and made sure those wisemen put their gifts in the right place and didn't mess up her manger.  It was very sweet.




The last week of school was full of class parties, crafts and cookie decorating.  A chocolate covered Kate made chocolate covered pretzels for all of her teachers.



It has a been a great month and now that school is out we can finally relax and enjoy this special time of year.  Merry Chirstmas!
