The Christmas Holidays have come and went. The tree is down, the lights are down, but the memories of the fun we had will last for a lifetime.
We started the holiday season listening to David sing at Epcot in the Candlelight Processional. It was a damp day but it was the best performance we have seen in 3 years. Memaw, PopPop, Brian, & Chelsea joined Niel & I for a wonderful Family experience at Epcot. Did I mention that Woopie Goldberg was our narrator and did a marvoulous job? Well she was.

David Singing:
When we got home from our time at Epcot we were welcomed with hugs from Mark. He was home from Oklahoma...ready for the Christmas Holiday. On Saturday, the 19th of December we went to dinner with Janel's family to celebrate Mark's 21st birthday and then had a few friends over to help him celebrate. It was good to see the house full again. Monday the 21st we were part of David's Senior Class Progressive Dinner. We were the host for soup and salads. We had 33 people over for that part. It was a fun time to be part of David's Christmas Celebration:
Tuesday I got hit with broctius but went to the clinc to get meds to help with that issue.
Christmas Eve we had our annual Christmas Eve dinner with friends and family. We had a total of 15 for dinner. We ate at 3:30 to not interupt other celebrations that might happen later in the evening. Our guest that came the farthest would be Chen from China (okay, I know he came from Oklahoma but orginially from China).

On Saturday...the boys & Niel decided to take down the dead tree in the back yard. The tree had caught fire on my birthday and then got struck by lighting in August or September.
Here is the tree crew at work. Mind you I kept thinking "How much do professionals cost?"
I got sick again, even had a trip to the ER but after more meds and me whining really bad.. I did get out of putting up the shed in the back yard...I slept most of the day on Monday. It rained on Tuesday and now...well, I am back to normal. The boys & Chelsea took a trip to Gainesville to see Missy & Granddad on Wednesday. They even surprised them because they got up and out of the house here at 6:30 am.
News Year we celebrated with friends and then came home for our annual campfire in the firepit and fireworks display by Brian & Chen. It was a nice New Years Eve celebration. New Year Day was a rainy day but a nice day. Niel went to see his brother with his dad and the boys & I stayed home and watch movies on tv and play the Wii.
I wish you and yours a Happy New Year. May God bless you and watch you into the New Year.

Its been good to have all the boys home and you actually got some work out of them! :)
Getting the work out of two of three was like pulling teeth but they did work. Brian worked the hardest and then Chelsea the next hardest (besides Niel and my dad)
