Landon and Bethany were so excited about their Christmas program that morning when I dropped them off at school. I don't think they had a clue about the large crowd they were about to perform in front of.
They just love helping out in any way they can. They are so cute!
Bethany knocked my socks off by her performance. She sang her heart out...
did All the hand motions...
and kept a smile. Brian and I were so proud of her!
Brian has always been a "Big Kid" at heart. He was the only parent in the whole room sitting on the floor with the kids. Don't you know Bethany was loving every minute of it!
Bethany and Jack Vourdouris are in different classes at school, but have been good friends since birth. They were born only 10 days apart. 
Bethany was so overwhelmed after the performance that getting this picture was a fight.
Enjoying some sweets with Grandma Marilyn.5th Grade Christmas Party-
The fifth grade class made gingerbread houses at their class party. Love the smile!
The amount of food available at these class parties always amazes me. The kids eat like royalty.
Mr. Wickline had just as much fun as the kids.
Siblings rake out pretty good at the class parties, too.
Keagan is loving school this year...especially when the class store is open.
Making paper Christmas trees at the class party. Brian supervised this station. The kids just love it when Brian works in the classroom. Notice Keagan's "Christmas" shirt. Brian and I had no idea what he had on under his sweatshirt until he came home from school that day. Boys...Boys...Boys5th grade Mission trip-
Hailey had a great opportunity to spend the day serving the less fortunate in our community.
The day started out at the Craftsmen For Christ warehouse assembling care packages.
Kids will be kids. If there is down time...they will find a way to fill it.
Friends always make work fun.
Next, we traveled to the Rescue Mission in Marysvillle for homeless men. This was definitely an eye opening experience as the kids toured the housing facility, smelled the filth, passed out scarfs which were made by students at F.C.S. and shook hands with the residents.
Then, we traveled to a residential care center for the elderly, sang Christmas Carols, and greeted the residents. Again, the kids were touched by the love and appreciation that the residents had for their visit. It was evident that many of these residents do not see visitors on a regular basis.
The day ended with a pizza feast at Primetime Pizza in Marysville.
Brian and I are so blessed to be able to participate in most of our kids' school activities. We just love being engage with the things that are important to them.
