Christmas Staff Party........

I start with all the desserts......well because they are important.......obviously.

And here's the whole crew.  

Gary with sweet thomas. 

The party was not complete with out party games, and lots of laughter.  

This was my favorite match up.

Bible History game.  

Guess who won.

And the little white elephant helper.  

Getting ready for Christmas

We were wrapping things up in Canyon and starting to pack for Mississippi Christmas.  

In the meantime we played dress up.

just my cutie in her christmas dress for sunday lunch.

Ready for Awanas.......

And our friday night out with the high school kids.....simulcast of dating conference.  

Getting ahead on the Jesse tree. 

My sweet Noah writing me love notes.  

just a Daddy hat stealer. 

And we got an early birthday present from Pops and Gigi.....Anna loves her new doll house.  

And my great find for Drew at Good will for tacky Christmas party. 

Christmas pics 2016

We kindly tricked Drew's intern, Mackenzie, into coming for some quick shots of us in Christmas attire on the square.

She is so talented but anyone working with this crew has to be a little patient.  

Canyon Christmas Parade

The weather was frigid outside and we had hours before the parade......and the pancake breakfast.

while we ducked in for the afternoon to the panhandle museum we made our way around to see all the history that makes this area of Texas so special.

This was Luke's favorite part.....the dino puzzles.  

Proud of himself for completing it.  

posing by the tree after we filled our bellies with green and red christmas pancakes.  

And we waited to our confused kids could see who this Santa guy was.  

Them we met up with our friends and stood in the cold till the parade started.  

Anna checking out her first piece of candy. 

waving to the christmas train.

They were happy cold kiddos.  

And here are the sweetest girls who love my people so well.
