Christmas with Cousins

Brianna had a blast with Carli & Olivia (Jordan's nieces). Livy is about a month older than Brianna. All three girls played so well together. Brianna talks about "Livia" constantly and knows that "O" is for Olivia even though she calls her Livia. Carli was like a little mother making sure they didn't get into Granny's "pretties." The first picture is of the girls with Granddad Cessna. They were wearing their matching dresses that Granddad Satterfield picked out and bought for them!

Children's Nativity Program

Our Kid's Christmas program went very well. 23 kids participated. The first picture is of one of our practices. What a lively crew! Some of the kids insisted on jumping over or sitting on the altar. We thought we weren't going to survive without helpers! Fortunately, Kristen a teenager who attends our church, helped us on the day of the program. The kids ended up having very good behavior for the program. It was a lot of work sewing all those outfits (I sewed 17) and trying to get everything together! We love these kids and were so proud of them. We were able to give all of the kids a gift and candy treat thanks to the Alberton Woman's Missionary Society.

Christmas in SD

We had our own family Christmas in SD. We had it a week early because of our trip east and our Christmas Program etc. Brianna was very excited with her gifts and would ooohh! and aaahh! as she opened them. She was especially happy about this doll with it own bath tub.
