Christmas Program

On our walk we discussed plans for the church Christmas caroling and some of the other functions happening this month. Thinking we have it arranged only to find out later in the day our plans won't work. I quit the walk a little early to get ready for Berean and picked up mom and Aunt Jinnie at 8:15 am. The wheel chair van worked perfectly so that is what we took. Berean this morning was hard, not physically but emotionally. Bill came in and when the work was finished read to the group Psalm 46. IF you would like to read about our morning and mourning there click HERE. After the Bibles were dropped off mom relaxed in her chair while Aunt Jinnie read to her until Joan arrived for the afternoon. My hip was hurting so I didn't want to work outside today even though the weather was mild. Only when we were home and getting ready for bed did I figure out why, I had forgotten to take my pills including an Aleve. We were awake at 4:00 am and it was too early to take them then with getting everything done forgot that I hadn't taken them.  That is a good reason not to get out of bed early. Mark had an estimate in Hanna City so came home early for that then at 4:45 pm we left to meet David and Stephanie at a little park off Grandview drive to get Israel and Elisabet so David and Stephanie could go to a Christmas party and the kids could come with us to Jace and Abe's school Christmas program at Eureka college. This was for the kindergarten through 4th grade and the auditorium was packed. We were glad we arrived early enough to get seats. 

Abe's class went first then after his songs were finished he came and sat with us.

The kids all did a great job. Everyone was listening intently.

Below is the video of just Abe and Jace's classes.

After the the concert we drove to Busy Corner for supper. Of course we had to get a picture of the two boys in the program by the tree.

We really recommend that restaurant. They are kid friendly and the prices were reasonable. Even the boys were entertained by the games on the child menu. 

It was 8:00 pm by the time we finished with dinner. Israel and Elisabet were taken home and I had just gotten Elisabet settled in bed when David and Stephanie arrived. Mark and I left for that long drive home. It really is only 40 minutes but it sure seemed like hours. Mark was drifting off to sleep some of the time and since I was driving I really couldn't take a nap but we were both glad to climb into bed.
