Decorating for Christmas!

On Sunday the 5th of December, the clan in town gathered to set up Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas decorations - and to celebrate "Aunt Kimmie's" birthday. Everyone found a way to help, but Aunt Kimmie forgot to take pictures of some of the excitement. Not pictured helper elves: Brandon who helped Grandpa put up the Christmas lights, Randy and Jerry who wrestled the tree into the house and got it set up on the stand, Grant and Ali who did the tree lights, and Sasha and Karri who set up most of the Christmas Nativities on the shelves that Grandpa had painstakingly emptied of their usual treasures. Pictured below: Allie and Jenna and Ali decorating the tree, Jocelyn and Aiden providing charm and the Christmas spirit of child-like glee (while concentrating on the tasks at hand), with help from Mama Terra and Grandpa/Grandma J. Also pictured below, all of us having our usual fun hanging out, eating, and singing happy birthday. Sorely missed this week but having fun in Texas, Aunt Colleen. Thanks to Brandon, Allie, and Grandpa for the photos! Joyous and happy Holidays, everyone!
