The Nolden Family

We got to go to two Christmas Church events this year.

Aunt Sandi goes to the First Baptist Church, and they put on “The Living Christmas Tree” each year, which is a large production with music and a play. Sandi plays the trumpet in the orchestra.

We also had our Ward Christmas Party at our church.
