These first few pictures are of Charissa. On Christmas Eve morning, Tim, Brenda, and Charissa left to go to Brenda's family in Virginia, so we had a shorter time with them. We enjoyed getting to stay at their house. We took a bag of clothes and shoes from our friends here for Charissa. She fell in love with the boots, as a toy, not as footwear. :) She carried the boot around and pretended to be taking something imaginary in and out of it!
 |
| Of course, her Grandpa got into that kind of play with her. He has something clasped in his hand that he just got out of the boot! |
 |
| Apparently, there was still some more "somethings" in there! |
 |
| "You know I'm just pretending, right?" |
 |
| Charissa and her daddy |
 |
| I think she was going to get her hair done. That's generally what the spray bottle is for. |
 |
| Yes, now she has a "fountain" on her head. This dress is one Janet made for her for Christmas. |
The following pictures are of Christmas Day at the Scoles house. Even without Tim, Brenda, Charissa, and Beth, there were a bunch of people there. If you were lucky, you got a chair to sit on. Otherwise, sit on the floor if you're young enough or share a chair. :) There were 34 people there.

Wes and Lisa with Micah and Quil
Uncle Wesley was trying his best to break Micah of putting his fingers in his mouth. When he caught him doing it, then Wes would put Micah's fingers in HIS mouth! Micah didn't like that! I hope it worked! |
 |
| Marlene collected tissue paper to use in packing to move. |
Wes, Marlene, and Lyndell's families had to leave by late afternoon, so just our family, Sherry's and Brenda's were left. There was plenty of room to sit and just relax.

Mother and Daddy, tired, and happy for the time with everybody, but sad it was over so quickly.
We had put the living room back together. Earlier the piano had been moved into the hallway to make more seating room. |
