Christmas Parties

Last Sunday we had our Ney Christmas Party. We began by taking goodie bags to the Ney shut-ins and Caroling to them. It was softly snowing and blowing a little - very cold - but we had a good time. I think we even wore the kids out a little.

Next we enjoyed some soup and sandwiches provided by some of our church members. All the food was yummy. Then we went upstairs for a movie, "The Very First Noel". (Great movie, by the way, I would highly recommend it).

For some reason, our people seem to think that Santa needs to be a part of our Christmas Party, so he came too. Now let me just say that both Ronnie and Nathaniel know that he is not real, and last year they did not want to sit on his lap. Well times seem to have changed.

Ronnie was actually the first one (of my 3) this year. He said up there and when asked what he wanted for Christmas replied, "drums".

I couldn't hear Nathaniel's reply as to what he wanted and he couldn't remember later when I asked him (so obviously he really wants it).

Eli, though, when asked the same question; replied with a grin on his face, "presents". Of course Santa, what else would he want?!

And Santa Provided!

We had a great time at our Ney Christmas Party and one of the little boys we babysit for has mentioned the movie a couple of times. Yipee! The real reason for our celebration is Jesus! Have you been celebrating Jesus?
