Christmas Eve 2007

Every Christmas Eve since we've had kids old enough to do it, we've done a reenactment of Christ's birth. Here's a photo of the 2007 version. From left to right; Dad is the narrator (reading Luke Chapter 2), Spencer is a sheppard, Terra (the dog) was a sheep, Brianna was Mary, Mr. B. Wellington (teddy bear) was Jesus, Jeremy was Joseph, Michael was a wise man, and Alisa was the angel and the photographer. We missed Bradley this year!

Show Choir

We went to a Show Choir dinner, auction, and performance in December. We might be a little bit prejudiced, but Brianna was the best!

First snow of the year 12/15/2007

This is a major snow storm for St. Louis. It snowed on Saturday 12/15/07. One week later on 12/22/07 it's 62 degrees and all the snow is gone. It was fun while it lasted...

Nervous Woman

Alisa was called to be the Relief Society president this month. She must have had a feeling something ominous was coming as this photo was taken just outside the bishop's door just before she was called!

Branson go karts

Brianna and I went shopping at the outlet malls and Rick and the boys went Go-karting. I think they had the better time.

Branson at Thanksgiving time

After Thanksgiving, we went to Branson for two days. We saw three shows: Shoji Tabuchi, Acrobats of China, and Mannheim Steamroller. I think the highlight for us was going to a restaurant named the "Hard Luck Diner". Waiters and Waitresses were all performers who in between serving the meals would sing to the diners. The kids were so embarrassed but had a fun time. I think the parents enjoyed it more. It was a hoot!

Thanksgiving with the Masseys

We had Dennis, Barbara, Missy, and Matt join us from Alaska for Thanksgiving. Amy and Jerry and their cute boys drove up from Texas. We had a great time and probably the best Thanksgiving dinner. What could be better than to have friends around. Here are a few shots. Barbara taught Brianna how to skin fish and she taught Spencer to play Yahtzee! Good times!
