About a month ago, we made Christmas cookies when Carson and Katie were around.

Two weeks ago, our youth group hosted a Christmas dinner for elderly people in the community. We served a meal and sang a few songs for them.
A little over a week ago, our family went in to Lancaster to have our family Christmas with Carsons at their house. We went to Shady Maple for supper then went to Carson's house to open gifts and hang out.
I got a phone!!! can you tell I'm pumped?
my awesome sisters!
Last weekend was our school's Christmas program. Ensemble (high school) sang a number of songs and our class sang a song. We also did a play that involved all the school students. It is a huge relief to have the program finished.

This is the whole school in costume after the play...
getting ready to sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." I was a maid. lol
Last Monday our class had a Christmas party. We all dressed formally and had a fun evening at Perry & Alma's house. We ate good food and played games and just hung out for a while.
Wednesday at school, we all went caroling. We all went to the Senior Center in Burgettstown then split up and sang at different houses. That afternoon we ate cookies and hot drinks at school. Wednesday night, our church went caroling here in the community. Afterwards, we met at school and had snack and played some games in the basement. Even some older men (including my dad) were jumping rope. :) lol.
On Friday, school left out at noon and Christmas vacation started!
The past few days, our family has just been hanging out here at home... mostly sitting around, reading, eating lots of food, playing games, and relaxing. Aaahh... life is good!
This is our traditional snack table... a gift basket from work, lots of candy, and games.
And my sister wrote this on the front door... Merry Christmas!
