Growing Babies

These pictures were taken in November, but I wanted to share them.

George & Caroline

She's so pretty and cute.

I'm happy to have my picture taken.

Family Christmas Party

The Saturday after Christmas we had our extended family Christmas party at
Tatum and Scott's house. We had fun and we were surrounded by so many
little ones. I can hardly remember what it was like before all the babies
were with us.

Caroline looked so pretty in her cute little green Christmas dress.

George and me playing

Cousins Adalynn & George

Dad was so cute playing on his knees with the little ones.

Time for presents!

Nora got a furry kitty.

Bontrager Family Singers

Last Friday night we had the privilege and joy of attending a
Gospel Bluegrass concert at the Family Vision Library performed
by our friends, the Bontrager family! It was such a joy to see them again!
All their bright and smiling faces were contagious, and the songs were
encouraging to our hearts.

Oh, this song we're familiar with brought tears to my eyes: Goodnight Kiss.
