Christmas 2012

It is hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone already this year.  The girls were definitely into the Holiday spirit this year and we had a great time with all of our family and friends over the past couple of weeks.  On Christmas Eve we hosted the McNamara family Christmas where Santa made an appearance.


 All of the cousins with Santa, minus Maggie and Tommy who were in Missouri for Christmas.
 The girls and I by the tree.  Dad and the rest of the guys were busy playing a game of Mexican dominoes so Dad is missing from the family picture.
 The girls tearing into their presents Christmas morning.
 Grace hard at work with her young Architect kit.  She really likes it and I said if it helps her do better in her drafting classes in college than I did, more power to her!

 Lucy showing off one of her presents.

 Grace opening her present from Grandma and Grandpa.
Lucy opening her Polly Pockets from Maggie and Tommy.  She was pretty excited about them.

Thanks to everyone we got to see and spend time with over the Holidays, it is a great time to really be thankful for all the wonderful people we have in our lives.

Sunday School Program

Even with the snow today the girls had their Sunday school program.  They each had speaking parts, Lucy as an angel and Grace as a reader.  They did a great job!

Lucy and Grace before the program, Grace didn't want a picture with her sister at this moment.


 Lucy and the rest of the angels during their part.

Lucy had her school Christmas program this week.  She did great and was excited to wear her new sparkly silver Christmas dress.  



Basketball

Grace is playing basketball this year and she had her first tournament last weekend.  The girls did good and it was fun to see them in a game scenario.  They were a little timid at first but got the hang of it pretty quickly.  We played Amery and New Richmond last weekend and yesterday were in Colfax and played Colfax, Prescott and Elk Mound.  We have one more tournament next Saturday and we get a break for the Holidays.
