Family Pre-Christmas dinner

Since our youngest son Shawn could come down on Monday, Dec 20th we had an early Christmas dinner. These are our three kids; Daryl, Lori, and Shawn.

Daryl giving his youngest son Tyler a helicopter ride. He landed kinda heavily and wasn't sure about that kinda ride.

We are truly blessed. Three great kids and 8 wonderful Grandkids.

Daryl's family in Christmas play


The Granger Community Church where Daryl works and worships put on their Christmas play. Tammy, Allison and Rachel were part of the play cast. The story of Christ's birth was set in a modern story of a family torn apart by the father leaving and the son, daughter, and wife coping with the seperation at Christmas time. The Grandpa who use to work in the circus told the story about the good ringmaster who left and the wicked ringmaster who took over the circus. Then the angel anounced the birth of a child who would take over the role of the good ringmaster. It was a very good adaptation of the Christmas story set in a modern setting.

This was some of the cast. The fellow dressed in the clown suit has a very nice voice and sang several songs during the play.

This is Rachel looking very artistic!


Allison, Tammy, and Rachel. Tammy did a great job of keeping the smiles away!


Rachel seems to have caught the SAD part also.


I think Allison is having a hard time keeping the SAD look going.


Rachel enjoyed that bag of popcorn.


Allison seems to be asking "what comes next?"

Grandkids perform at Christmas program

On Sabbath, December 4th the Village school put on their Christmas program. Cheyenne played her guitar.

Can't believe our Granddaughter is in grade 8. She participates in just about all school activities from sports, music, school out reach programs etc.

Tanner loves the violin. He played the solo part for the program.

Very good job Tanner. We like to hear you perform.


Cheyenne sang in the mixed choir.

Good job Cheyenne. We are proud of our first Grandchild.
