The kids were in our church Christmas Eve play again this year and both had one liner parts in the play. Of course I was beaming, I was so proud of them for just being up there and they did say their lines. Whew!!! 
After the play, there was also a manger scene and Cassandra was an angel with a halo of course and Jase was a shepherd.
Then, it was time to come home and open presents from Aunt Teresa and her family and Aunt Missy and her family. The kids really got tickled about unwrapping Jesus underneath several layers of wrapping paper. It was really funny! 
Everybody was here, except Cory, Poppy, Rachelle's family, Uncle Konan and Uncle Teddy Bob
Pardon Jase's picture in the family photo shoots. 
I helped Mr. Dylon do a scavenger hunt for a Promose ring that he gave Jessica. He is such a sweet young man and so polite. You have to admit, they do make a cute couple! 
I'm so glad that y'all came and I hope y'all enjoyed the Christmas play. 
Here is lil' Miss Cassandra with her sticker earrings. Thanks Aunt Teresa for that idea, she loves to wear stickers as earrings! Good thinking!!!
They love their Curious George DVD about winter. They have all sorts of ideas to do in the snow when we go to Montana for our family vacation on Dec. 30.
Yea, they remembered to leave Santa some cookies and milk and told Alfie and Ollie goodbye. 
Everytime Jase visited a Santa Claus he would tell them that he wanted a truck. Well, Santa came through for him and did get him a truck but actually I think Jase really just wanted the box that it came out of. I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned around to find my son all boxed up, he even closed the lid by himself. Too funny! 
Then, he took his "Buzz Lightyear Operation" game and layed his Buzz Lightyear on top of it and went operating on his Buzz. Oh that boy.....cracks me up! 
Well, that's pretty much the highlights of our Christmas. We did make a mad dash to Cleveland the day after Christmas and visited my parents and dropped off gifts for my two brothers. And the other big memory for this Christmas is the little episode that happened with Cassandra at Aunt Missy's house while Jessica was watching them. Cassandra was in the hot tub and got too hot and started throwing up and almost passed out. Scared everyone to death, but other than that, she is fine! Whew! We still pray for Poppy, the holiday's are still a very rough time for him and of course it breaks our hearts to see him in that condition. There is nothing that any of us can do, except love him unconditionally, it's in the Lord's hands! 
Thank you Lord for a wonderful year!
