Terry Christmas

The Terry Christmas was a smashing hit! We had a Lasanga dinner at Annie's Little Bits. The kids listened to the story " Stone Soup". Then they prepared Stone Soup and had a coloring contest. Adam Hayes won the Contest. We sang Happy Birthday to Nicole Terry. Marianne Deanne & Brittney graciously with their spouses opened their homes for the rest of us. We attended Church together We took up all but one pew of an entire section. Then back to Annie's for Stone Soup and Breads. After a family meeting it was time to head to the hills to sled. It was Nathan Hanselmann's 1st time sledding. 1st he and grandma crashed at the bottom of the hill, then Eddie Ray ran into him, so he decieded this was a spectator sport. Marianne, Deanne, Susanne, and Lorianne took a run. All the kids we're a joy to watch.
