Christmas Eve we went to my Uncle Robin's Church for candle light service at 6:30 and then went to their house afterwards for food and fun. After that we went to Midnight Mass at our church. Great (late) night. Here is us kids before leaving for Church.

New hunting hat Uncle Robin? 
Nathan and Sarah (they are getting married this coming June!) they arrived just in time for Christmas dinner
Saturday, November 26th we held a wedding shower for my cousin Natalie! It was a wonderful, fun filled afternoon. The shower was held at the home of a friend of theirs from church. Holly is a very kind lady, it was a joy working with her.
Natalie and her sisters Mary and Leah - the girls were reading out a funny blurb Mom had written about Natalie and Nate 
It would not be a shower without the Apron game!
Doesn't she look lovely?
