Christmas Festivities

Greetings to all....

The Christmas events are over--We spent Christmas Eve with the Patterson side of the family, Christmas morning just the 4 of us & then Christmas afternoon with the Kraus side. There was entirely too much food in all locations--but I guess that is part of the Christmas celebration-- :) And thankfully we had decent weather for all of it...not as nice as this morning, but at least it was not sleeting or included freezing rain.


The girls received lots of nice gifts --as did we--Thanks Everyone!!!! We don't know what to play with next around here. Thank goodness we have 3 more days to get some serious play time in.


Hopefully, your families had a wonderful Christmas as well.


Take Care!!!

The J. Pattersons




Thanks Uncle Corey & Lindsey!!!!

Dress Up time

The Tree is up......for a week now.

We spent Sunday afternoon getting up our Christmas tree and decorating it. It was a great time~the girls really enjoyed helping with all the activities. They are really getting excited about the holiday this year.

We got to spend yesterday afternoon with the Gill family. As always, it was a nice time--with lots of laughs, food and fun. Thanks to them for having us over on such short notice!!! The girls got to jump on the trampoline with Makayla and Matthew. Then we opened presents & played with them for a while. Afterwards, the Wii games began. Jared got his first opportunity to be a hero--Guitar Hero that is. It appears to be a pretty fun game.

Now, we just have a couple of days to wait before the holidays begin. It should be a pretty fun year this year with the girls being so excited about Christmas--and the reason for it too!!

They both will be in the church program that will be held next Sunday. So, if you want an entertaining show, come on down.

Happy Holidays!!!
