Advent Gathering

 On the first Sunday of Advent our church has many exciting activites, we went as a family and made a craft, which was an advent caledar, then we made a mission project and we went to a story teller, we had dinner and then all 1st graders and under do a chilren's nativity.  This year we had lots and lots of young angels so it was hard to get them all for a picture.  Ayla was the star angel and Addison was the Wiseman.  Ayla walked out very first and did very well.  Addison had to go to the bathroom so we was a little late but looked really good when he did!!

                                                             Ava and Ayla..always angels!!

Well Adam forgot to take pictures during the musical but Addison has his first speaking part and did very well!! They sang really well and had lots of fun doing it.  Addison was a sheppard in the musical!! Great Job!!!!!!!!!

Grandma Beth's

We were a little distracted and didn't take many pictures, they arranged for Grandma Nancy to be able to come to Thanksgiving.  The kids are waiting for her in the freezing cold! All of the pictures of the kids were a little blurry.  Grandma made it to Thanksgiving and was pretty good, a little confused.  We got to "catch-up" with lots of family so that was nice!!!!!!!!!  Addison, Ayla, Jack, Myia and Ashlyn had lots of fun playing with each other!!!!!!!!

Grandma Patrick's

 On Thanksgiving day we went to Circleville to visit Great-Great Grandma Arledge in Pickaway Manor, she was doing well.  She knew us and was happy to see the kids.  Then we went over to Grandma Patrick's house for lunch, skipped naps and stayed until bedtime.  We both were asleep really quickly in the car! In the above picture we have....Addison ,Mack, Carter, Ayla, Gracie, Isabella and Claire at Grandma Patricks for Thanksgiving!!  All played together very well!!
