Little Helper

I haven't had pictures of Aidan for awhile.

He's been pretty busy lately...

He's quite the help these days too...

Grandpa

My Grandpa
The 92 yr old out shoveling the snow and ice off of the sidewalks

Makes a person feel guilty....but he wouldn't have it any other way.

Hayden Audra

My cousin Rachel had her baby! Hayden Audra made her appearance into the world on December 24, and she weighed 7 pds 2 oz.

Umm..yeah, the pictures got cut off but if you click on the picture it will show you the full size. :-)

Dinner...

Kenneth and I decorated the tables and we were pretty dang proud of them so I took pictures. :-)

Front of card.

Back of the card. (It was the scripture that we read for the 5th night of Hanukkah before lighting the candles.)

Nativity Play

It's that time of year when all the kids are doing their holiday plays, and I have lots of neices and nephews so I've been going to all of theirs. I missed taking pictures of two of the plays because I was holding Aidan and not in a good place to take photos, but I did get some of the Nativity play that the kids did during our Candlelight service.

Jenna cracked me up while they were singing. (She's the wayward angel there in the back)

The Angels

The Shepherds and Mary over there on the left.

King Herod and the wise men

After the play and candlelight service we have a dessert potluck and refreshments and we had a LOT of people show up for the service and the refreshments. It was a lot of fun!

First Night of Hanukkah

Tonight was the first night of Hanukkah


So we got together and lit the "servant candle" first. (the one in the middle)

Then the candle on the far right was lit to signify the first night, the other seven candles will be lit over the next seven days.


We do this in remembrance of the Macabees restoring the temple 3 years after it was destroyed, and to remember that Yeshua is the light of the world. (Short summary) :-)

Ahhh...it's Wednesday.

Not that that really means anything....just a little bit closer to the weekend. Cary is still trying to get everything resolved on our van and the insurance stuff, yada, yada.....I'm very grateful that he takes care of all that stuff. :-) I still haven't heard anything back on any of my tests from going to the doctor and hospital last week, so I'm going on the assumption that no news is good news.
Last Sunday some of us ladies got together for a night on the town (ha, ha). Melanie, Heather (Crouch), Erin, Sydney, Susan (Faber), and one of Melanie's friends named Julie, and myself all went out to eat while Cary and Aidan went and hung out with Dan, Ethan, Sam and Jesse (Hansen) . (He had stopped by to chat) Anyway, good times were had by all and I got the red meat that I've been craving. (Although I could use a big, fat, juicy steak right about now.)
Cary gets a week and half off of work here soon so we'll be leaving to spend time with family and I think we're all looking forward to that. Cary is taking Aidan and I this weekend and then he has to come back and work for TWO days before taking his break. I guess I really shouldn't complain since he is getting alot of time off. :-) Hee.

That's it for now.
