Christmas Eve

It doesn't feel like Christmas without snow. It has been brown and drab, so I was happy I got my wish to have a white Christmas. We got a few inches of snow a couple days ago and it was expected to melt. I was glad to look out and still see white covering the ground.Everything was white, but as the day went on, the rain came down and wind picked up. It made for a nasty day outside, but nothing that caused bad road conditions. We headed to Williams for the Wahlert Christmas. Aunt Alice was here for Christmas this year too, so that made it extra special. We had lunch and Christmas goodies followed by presents. The day was pretty fast paced with little time to sit, visit and relax. It was go from the start. The presents seemed to keep coming and coming even though this year we were to trade names with one person and give to a charity of our choice. In the end with the pile of gifts, I would have to say there were more gifts than ever. My favorite idea came from my dad, he had taken a bible verse and printed it off for each person to read before opening their gift. As soon as presents were done, everyone was scrambling to get ready for the church program. Luke had gone to my parents church a couple times to practice so he could be part of the Christmas program. He was very excited to read in the play. He and another little girl similar in age read parts from Luke 2. Luke got to stand at the podium with a microphone. He did a great job and was fun to hear. He looked so handsome in his shirt and tie. The Christmas Eve program was put on entirely by the kids with character parts and singing. Alivia was a narrator similar to Luke. After church it was back to Grandma's for soup supper. More eating Christmas goodies, taking pictures, then Grandpa's bible reading of the Christmas story before heading home./>

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.
