A comedy Christmas, minus two
And the blog silence is broken! I had not intended to stay away this long, but let's just say the Christmas craziness has begun. This week, apart from our normal everyday living of jobs, Trey, and taking care of the house, we worked to get the house, food, and gifts ready for lots of company this weekend.
Last night was our annual O3M Christmas dinner. (In case you don't know, O3M is Out Of Our Minds, a Christian improv comedy group that Brandon is part of.) We look so forward to this every year. It was so nice to see everyone together. The group started in 2003 and there was one kid between all of us. Since then there have been two weddings and three more kids. Praise the Lord!
The damper on this year was that Ed and Tamaira were not with us. We forgive you Ed, even though you've gone yankee on us! Seriously, we pray that you all will be settled and blessed in your new home, and that you'll come to visit every once in a while.
Anyway, here are some pictures from the night. First up are Haley and Jenna, Greg and Leslie's precious daughters:
Next up is Tobijah, Scott and Frazier's sweet baby boy:
Then of course there's Trey, who surprised us by playing very nicely with the other kids and even being willing to share his toys.
Lastly, the dads and their little ones. What a sweet group!
So that's part one of a very busy weekend. My dad and Jodi come today for their annual Christmas visit, staying through tomorrow. Then tomorrow evening, Trey is in a Christmas play at church. We'll have pictures and/or video to post next week, I'm sure. I have this sinking feeling that Trey is going to see the steps on the altar, decide he's GOING to climb them, and completely abandon his role in the play. Sigh. We're making precious memories here, imperfections and all.
