Here are some odds ands ends that went on at Christmastime…

That Sophie! Awe...she's so cute...when she's not taking off up the driveway and making us hunt her down...

Grandma and Grandpa Slade...they're so cute!

Liz and Megan hanging out with Grandma Slade...

That's my dad..."Pard."

I love this picture. That's Frank walking up the driveway with Grandma and Grandpa Slade...I'm not sure where they were going...

We invited the missionaries over on Christmas Night and some neighbors. We had lots of goodies (like we hadn't already had tons of goodies for the past week) and played a mean game of Charades...that's Elder Delgado with Frank.

These are all of the full-time missionaries in Conyers (at the time). They did a Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer song and dance at the ward Christmas Party. See the video below. Back L to R: Eversole, Peterson (aka Santa), Folker, Delgado, & Kilpelainen. Front L to R: Whitworth & Leavitt.

***All of our kids did a skit at the Ward Christmas Party as well. This is a skit they saw when we visited Nauvoo back in the Summer of 2007. Liz recorded it and they brought it home, learned it, and perform it every now and then. I think they did a really good job!
