Alena Turns Eleven

This is Alena's eleventh birthday party.  She had some friends over, and they did some of Alena's favorite things; riding horses, playing dollhouse, and, of course, eating chili, birthday cake,

and ice-cream sandwiches.

 On the left is Hannah and two of her friends; Ashley and Dania.  On the right in the back ground is Erilynn.

This is Alena, her best friend Chenie, and Erilynn enjoying, chili, chips, and veggies!

Alena had a very happy birthday.

Brother William and Christian the Christian.

Christian became saved one night after a church revival.

A few months later William became a christian also.

This is "Christian the Christian", at his baptism.

And this is "Brother William", at his baptism.

Please pray for the two boys as they begin their walk with Christ.



Christmas Happenings

 Hannah directed a Christmas play at church for ages 5-9.   In the back there is three Wisemen, an Angel, two Shepherds, Joseph, Mary (Erilynn) with baby Jesus, and 2 more shepherds.  In the front there is three little Sheep including Christian.  William was a really good soldier but for some reason he didn't make it in the picture.  Everyone is singing the finale "Away in a Manger!"

 This is Erilynn with her doll on Christmas.  The matching dress and leggings were a gift from Aunt Lollie.

 Pa-paw and Grandma Faye came to visit.  Grandpa decided to take a nap.  The sign says "Sleeping Beauty
Do Not Disturb!"

And Grandma Faye made shirts for everybody.  Alena's is a horse, Erilynn's a kitty, Hannah's butterflies, and the boy's shirts say something along the lines of  "Grandpa's Garage - You break it, he'll fix it!"
I hope that everyone else had as merry a Christmas as we did!
