Isaiah, Jesse and Judah look very happy to get their stockings. Judah and Jesse are cool dudes in the scarfs/sunglasses. Waiting for everyone to line up to go and see their presents. Judah and Jesse are hugging away. Everyone are running to the sun-room.  When everyone are sitting we will start to give away presents to them. From the big pile to no pile left of presents to give out. Cate is a real super woman.

Crandall  There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved.It is the finger of God on a (person's) shoulder. ~Charles Morgan   Every day my strong, healthy daddy worked in the fields from sunup until sundown to make a living  for Mother, my sisters, and me on a rented cotton farm in the Texas Panhandle. At times, his voice became gruff as if he were aggravated with me. I felt he didn't love me.      One day Daddy had a fever. He stayed in bed in his room. The next day I contracted the same thing and stayed home from school. Mother put me to bed in my room which was next to Daddy's. We had no radio,and my eyes hurt too much to read, so I whiled away the long hours by mentally drawing circles and squares on the ceiling. Mother, busy as usual, came upstairs only to bring medicine, but didn't stay long.

This is Grace's first time decorating the gingerbread house in the States. Leah was making it with Levi whose also the first time doing it too. Levi was dressed as a cowboy while he was decorating it. Some of the kids participated in it. This is one of the houses that we made. Tia was helping Grace putting the decorations while I was icing the house. This is the other house that the other kids made with Leah. Grace took some M&M's and put it on top of the house.It looks like the Ukrainian flag. Tia, Lily and Grace are being very silly. Everyone was doing their own faces.Grace and Levi really enjoyed decorating the houses.I can't wait till Christmas comes.They both will love it.
