First Christmas Party of the Year!

Let the festivities begin!  With Christmas being just two weeks away, we had our first official Christmas party yesterday with the Roedas - Steve's Uncle John and Aunt Sue and their family.  We always enjoy spending time with them, and each year we make a point to getting together near Christmas to celebrate with them!

Faith was thrilled to open her first present of the year!

Now it's Shane's turn!  Faith wanted to help him out and show him how to unwrap, but he assured her he could do it on his own!

The kids loved seeing cousin Katie again!  She is so fun!!  And even though I don't have a picture showing it, Shane really bonded with cousin Matt too!

"Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?"  It was a little scary how naturally Shane did that! Either we go through too many drive-thrus, or he has a future in working at McDonalds!!  He just loved being able to play McDonalds!

And here is Faith using her Crayola Glow Station.  She has had lots of fun creating glow-n-the-dark pictures!

After a great lunch and time of visiting, we went to a Christmas program at John and Sue's church.  We saw a musical performance, and then we were able to walk through the town of Bethleham!  The kids saw animals, made crafts, and even decorated cookies!  Faith was very proud of the sheep she made!
