CHRISTMAS EVE 2011

THE STRONG GRAND CHILDREN

FAMILY DINNER, ACTIVITIES, GIFT EXCHANGING

AND DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS
After dinner the grand kids worked on a Nativity Picture, Standing Star, Pine Cone Christmas Tree and a Rudolf Paper Puppet. Carlee and Natalie helped, Collin was a good sport about working on the activities, he's getting too old for arts and crafts. We were filling in time before the Curtis family arrived.

After the crafts, we had cookies, pie, cake etc.

Ah......the Curtis boys arrived! Collin was very happy.

Grady is 5 months and Strider is 10 months
