Emily's Dance Christmas Party

Unfortunately, Delmar and I neither one were able to be at the dance Christmas party this year but thanks to the blessings of a good friend like Jenny, Emily was able to go and we were able to see pictures of the great time they all had!

TOY TIME at HCC

Our church had a Christmas production this year written and directed by our youth pastor. Emily was blessed to be in it and we were blessed that she actually did it after the long Wednesday night practices and horrible Thursday mornings we endured because of getting too bed late.

Emily was able to be Abby Cadabby again (recognize the costume from the Halloween posts?) so she was thrilled! Harrison was also in the play and played a Howdy Doody type cowboy and also had a couple of speaking parts.

Delmar was the only adult in the play. Our youth pastor thought he would be perfect to play the grumpy shopkeeper. HHHMMMM.....

We could not have been more proud of Emily and the way that she behaved. It was a long morning of two performances and hot lights. She did beautifully and participated fully.

Also, we were honored that her 1st grade teacher Mrs. Durbin came to enjoy a performance. She's a REALLY good teacher and Emily LOVES her. She has recently told me (and Mrs. Durbin) that she wants to do 1st grade again so she can have her as a teacher again.

Have a blessed day,

Brownies on Parade

The Clinton Christmas parade was a COLD one. But our Brownie troop weathered the snow and sleet to have a wonderful time being the parade. The theme was "It's A Wonderful Life" and you can see from the pics that our girls were angels! Ready to go!

And what's a parade in the winter without a snowball fight!!!
Have a blessed day,

First Snow of the Year

Yesterday, Emily was dying to play in the snow that she had watched falling all afternoon and into the evening. She finally convinced Delmar that they needed to go out and play in it after supper. I choose to stay inside where it was warm and take pictures from an open dining room window.

So, since we had our first snow on the 30th, does that mean we'll have 30 snows this season????
