Christmas "party" with Kauses

We enjoyed an evening with the Kauses on December 23^rd. Each of us kids from both families shared music, our families exchanged gifts, and we had some snacks. The Kauses have been dear friends to us!

Caroling night in Federal Heights

On December 17^th all of us workers (except Jeffrey who had to work) at the Sunday School in Federal Heights caroled to all of our current Sunday School kids and their families and gave them cookie plates. But first, we filled the plates and put a Christmas note on top of the foil plate covers.

L-R: Rowen, Janet,Tonya Sickler, Beth, and Steve Cunningham

While we prepared plates, Stacy McVey and Kassie and Titus played "pony."


Before caroling we ate supper, and after successful caroling (people responded positively), we had dessert and played games.
