December 1st: Decorated our Christmas tree for FHE
December 4th: Our great neighbors gave us a ticket to ride the Sagebrush Shortline. For those who don't live in Ridgecrest, this is a treat. A man in our community built a small train track on his property. He and other train enthusiasts have built little engines to pull cars that hold people on them. Santa was there and we rode on the train. It was fun. That night the kids put their shoes under the tree to appeal to Sinterklaas, the Dutch Santa.
December 5th: Sinterklaas came! He put candy in the kids shoes, and gave them a pair of winter pajamas! Danke Sinterklaas!
Ethan also had his Christmas piano recital. Again, he did great!
December 6th: We had the Ward Christmas party out at the Byerly's barn! The kids loved seeing the animals, and they sang a great christmas song. Lots of fun!
December 7th: I went with the youth to sing christmas hymns at the Ridgecrest Regional Center. This is an old folk's home here in Ridgecrest. We had a great time.
Well, now we are caught up! I'm glad to be back!

Love the festive new look!!!
Blessings and Best Wishes to you and your family this Holiday Season!
Goodness! You did more in a little over a week than I have planned for the whole month! :D We usually go for the work party and the ward party and this year they are on the same night! My brave brother is going to take the middle girls to the ward party so they can be in the program and his wife will stay home with the bookends while we go to the work party. What neat memories for your kids!! We are going to do a few things (at home, of course!) to celebrate traditions. :) I'll have to blog about them, too! ;)
It's good to hear from you! What a fun few months. I love the Sinterclaus idea, what a fun way to celebrate the season!
I didn't know you guys were there too! Too bad we didn't see you! I love all your Dutch traditions. So fun!
This all sounds so fun!
Your family is so cute! I can't believe how old they all are now. I added you to my blog list so I can keep an eye on you guys! :0) Hope you are well.
Love Stephanie Booth
