Spending Time With Family

It's been so nice to have family in town for Christmas. 

Uncle Paul is visiting from Singapore for two weeks.

Rebekah and Deborah are home from Tennessee for a
week.  Mary and Suzy are home from college for over
 a month!  Lloyd, Bethany and the kids stopped overnight
 on their way through to West Virginia.  We were able
to enjoy one of the boy's basketball games all together.
They had the biggest cheering section for sure. :-) 

Grandpa bought the kids some treats
from the snack shop.

The boys won their game!!!

We had an early Christmas with Lloyd, Bethany

and the kids while they were here.

 Nathan was checkin' out the

huge box of chocolates!

 The kids got a snoopy snow cone machine and loved it!



"Our Lord, Emmanuel"

Our Christmas Program was this past Sunday night.

Sam did a great job directing his first program!

Tabitha, Rachel and John sang in the program. 

Joanna, Suzy and Mom played in the orchestra.

It was time to clean up but some people 

thought a singspiration was a better idea.

 Lydia even talked Paul Reimann into joining in on the fun. :-)

 Mr. Muzzi jumped in with a little narrating.



Home for Christmas!!

    Suzy and Mary flew in late Friday night.  They get
five weeks off for Christmas!  We have missed
them and are looking forward to catching up!

Deborah & Rebekah got home in time for

dinner on Saturday night.  They will be here

for a week before heading back to Tennessee.



Ladies' Christmas Party

We had our annual Ladies' Christmas Party last weekend.

We did something a little different this year and had it at 

the Sheraton Hotel.  It was a nice change and a lot less 

work for everyone!  Sheryl Nichols was our special 

speaker and was such a blessing to all of us.

Aunt Susan was in town visiting for the weekend. 

She was scheduled to fly out Saturday morning, 

but her flight got canceled.  We were so glad it 

worked out for her to be at the party! :-)

Kim McKenzie brought her beautiful handmade
baskets and had a nice display for any
ladies that wanted to purchase one.

Pam & Britany Mills did an excellent job with

a short Christmas drama they put together.

Rachel was so thankful Mary Lynn worked it 

out to be in town for the party.  She did 

a great job "running the show" that day. = )
