There were so many people (2700) at the 4:00 service that we sat in the balcony on the floor. Amazing.
Here they are in the hallway at church.
After church we went to some friend's house for dinner. It was so special to celebrate with them. Birthday cake for baby Jesus and all. There were 14 kids there and Sissy was loving all the little girls.
Santa came and brought each kid a Webkin.
This is Scotty's special friend Abby and he loved being at her house to play.
When we left their house we relaized that the weather was getting pretty bad and the news said it was only going to get worse. We gave the kids the option of leaving for Nanny and Papa's house that night and they really wanted to go but they were worried about Santa finding us. Amelia saved the day with a quick note.
The next morning we were up bright and early to read the Christmas story. (the boys were really into it, can you tell?)
Macker helped with the clean up.
Pirate ship!!
Baking.
Superman.
Did I mention that Amelia got a makeup set for Christmas? Aunt Karoline was a good sport. This picture is not a whole lot different than she looked in high school before she discovered tweezers.
Manly men.
Aunt Kers and Uncle Thad.
More makeup. This time it was Uncle Lee's turn.
Macker just observed and took pictures.
This BumbleBee got a new sweater.
Aunt Kers got a turn too.

Love the note, the makeup shop, those big guys in aprons, Scotty and Hanker boxing, and that's a great pic of Kers and Thad! Looks like such a fun time for all...glad you guys beat the storm.
Can Amelia and Kate set up shop when you guys are here? Seems like we have some makeup around here...
Oh my gosh... I LOVE Amelia's note to Santa. I'm sure glad that Santa was able to find the one house in IOWA by Bever Park. Nice.
