Catching Up

Well, we have been in our new house for just over a week now.  We are doing pretty well.  We unpacked what we needed to get us through the month of Dec. and pretty much everything else is still in our garage.  I let the boys put up their little tree last Saturday and we put up our tree last Sunday, but it is still sitting in the living room with no ornaments.  That is my project for the day.  I have done my Christmas cards.  Have been waiting on a new stamp with our new address on it, but it hasn't come in yet.  I may have to make lables.  I want to mail them out on Monday.  Cal had his Christmas play production Wed., Thursday and Friday last week.  We are all TIRED!  So for pictures, here is a picture of  our new house.

Our backyard.  Will be pretty in the Spring.

Getting into the spirit of Christmas

Brady's turn!

Here is my little shepard.  He and 6 other little boys were shepards and sang a sweet little Shepard Song.  They did the show Wed. for the elementary students, Thursday for the middle and high school students then Friday was for the parents, grandparents, family and friends.

He carried a sheep

Here they are singing.  They are carrying "crooks" this year for the first time because Cal believed firmly that if you are a shepard, you should carry a crook.  Probably in years past it was thought to not be a good idea as to let 6 year old boys carry something that could easily become a weapon!  They did fine with them! Ha!

The first day when the elementary students left the Kindergarteners had to stay for some pictures.  This gave the elementary students time to line the halls and cheer and give hi-five's to all the Kindergartener's as they made their way back to the Kindergarten building.  Seriously, the play did not bring me to tears, but this did.

All the Kindergarteners.  The angels, the stars, the animals, the wise men, the shepards, Mary, Joseph, Inn Keeper, Narator's, Solo Girls, and the little drummer boy.  They were all precious!
