Christmas Eve 08






We start our Christmas each year with a Christmas Eve candlelight service in Williams at Grandma and Grandpa Wahlert’s church along with Wade & Carina and Aunt Alice. Jake and Luke wore matching plaid shirts under red vests, and looked so cute. The red vest Luke wore had a teddy bear on it and Jake wore it when he was 1. Jayden had on a darling little silver sweater top and silver skirt. It is nice to dress up for the service. I noticed Luke’s eye was reddening during the service and gooping. I knew right away it was pink eye. Everyone had to keep their distance and I was so worried about spreading it. We had a nice Christams Dinner back at my parents. Mom had the table so pretty and all decorative. Later we opened gifts and the kids got plenty of goodies. As the night went on, Luke's eye looked redder and swollen. He was very good considering how uncomfortable they must have been. Jake was excited and anxious for gifts. He got a wowee alive tiger. This is something he saw on tv and has wanted. He was excited and said, “Just what I wanted.” It is a tiger cub that has lifelike features. His eyes open and close, he purrs and growls and his mouth opens and closes. Jayden got lots of neat things too. Later, we watched “the First Noel” an animated story I just love!! It is so neat how it is made, it all rhymes and the animation is awesome, and the story is so well done for youngsters. We headed home late and got home around midnight. Then, Santa had to come….

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
