Very cold day.  It was 19 degrees and the wind was really blowing.  Bill and I slept in until 8:30 today which is very rare for us.  Charlie picked him up to go for coffee and I cleaned the basement.  In the evening, we went to Peyton and Isaac's School Christmas Program.  The kids all sang out and did the motions so cute.  Peyton and Isaac did great and also

did wonderful on their speaking parts.  After the program was over, Bill and I left right away so we could go see Jacob and Adam in their Christmas Band Concert.  We hurried and got there right in time to see both boys play.  Sure was happy we could make it to both events.  We went to McDonalds afterward with Kimmy, Jared and all the boys.  It was such an enjoyable evening.  Love having grandkids!

We went to meet Angie at Cracker Barrel in Bridgeport at 6:30 in the morning.  We had a time catching up and a great breakfast.  We said our goodbyes, and she headed to the airport and we went to our regular breakfast for coffee.  We came home and Bill went to his appointment and I went to pick up a couple hams at Sam's.  Came home and got the house and food ready for our Small Group Christmas Potluck.  Everyone came at 6 and we ate some delicious food, visited, did our lesson and sang Christmas Carols.   Passed out snowmen that we bought from Kelly to help her with her Compassion Child.  Everyone loved it and loved that we helped her.  We got a beautiful glass platter from Lisa that has Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus on it.  It was a great night.  

Monday, 12/9/19...Happy Birthday to Carol, Cleaned upstairs, washed Foyer light, put stair decorations up, cleaned kernel burner

Cute picture of Evan with his creations

Wished Carol a Happy Birthday.  Texted Angie and set up meeting for breakfast tomorrow before she flies back to Kansas.  Cleaned upstairs, decorated stair rail, and cleaned the foyer light.  Bill fixed the door on the kernel burner and then I vacuumed the kernel burner out so it would be clean for the parties.  Ordered some stuff on amazon.  Fed the birds before the cold spell comes.  Did my Christmas cards and got them ready to mail.  Talked to Kenzie for a long time which I enjoyed.  Talked to her later on too, but just for a little while.  Watched a Hallmark Movie with Bill.

12/8/19...Went to church, Went to Carols to celebrate her 70th birthday, Went to the Living Nativity
