Christmas 2023

Our Christmas card.

A few pictures before we opened presents on Christmas morning.

Even Bear had matching Christmas pj's.

I think Bear is wondering where his stocking is.

The day after Christmas, Nana, Papa, Bob and Rebecca's family, Jeffrey and Rebekah, Alice and Mike, and Will and Christy's family arrived.  A picture with all the kids: James, Jack, Abby, Esther, Caden, Hallie, Clara, Ruby, and Annabelle.

A picture with everyone.

The little girls absolutely loved Caden.  

The weekend after Christmas, we celebrated with Tia and Mimi.

After having a house full of people, we were all pretty tired.  It was a very low key New Year's Eve.  Annabelle went over to a friend's house to spend the night.  A pic of Annabelle with her friend from ballet, Quinn.

 

Christmas Parties

 It has been a busy December, as usual.  In the rushing around, we often forget to take pictures.  The 8th grade boy moms had a Christmas Party and gift exchange.  Back row: Michelle Horan, Brooke Penley, Laura, Rhonda Hilner, Robyn Tilger, Kathy Ormont, Kristin Crane, Jennifer Lang.  Middle row: Shareese Rowland, Mary Jane Nielson, Angie Buja, Laura Wilson, Allyson Crow, Hilary Baker, and Beth McFarlane.  Front row: Kizzy Webb, Vanessa Collins, Kristen Dow, and Kim Fesler.

Annabelle performed her Russian dance at Northpark last Saturday.  Here are a few pictures that I took from the 2nd floor.  Annabelle is 2nd couple from the left.

And far left at the end.

We hosted all of the 6th grade girls for an ornament exchange party.

We hosted the entire 8th grade for their Christmas party.  Unfortunately, it rained and the party was cut short, and we took no pictures.  While the 8th graders were at our house, Annabelle was with her friends.  A group went to Chick fil a on their way to their Christmas ice skating party.

Christmas Chapel

The Logic boys basketball played in a tournament last weekend.  They had a rough first game.  Unfortunately, Caden fouled out, so they ended up losing a close game.  They won their next two games to win the consolation trophy.  And Caden was named to the All-Tournament Team.  Another mom took a bunch of great photos during the games.

Nutcracker 2023

 Annabelle was so excited to be cast as a Russian this year.  It was the part that she really wanted to perform.  Her professional portraits.

Laura was backstage with her group on Friday night.

Rebekah, Jeffrey, Nana & Papa came to watch Friday night's performance.

Some Covenant girls came Friday night: Zoey Seale, Adelaide Breed, Laura Darley, Annabelle, and Ann Holland Crow.

Laura and Brian went to see her on Saturday night.  Caden had to miss for basketball games.
