Besides funding the clinic this Christmas season, we tried to get on with life. We got our tree up a few days after Thanksgiving.

 Carlyn and the neighbor girl started a pet sitting service.  The first client was Bella.  The cost is $4 a day if anyone is interested :)

 There was the program at the grade school...

Aldon's class...

 

 We celebrated Liam's 2nd birthday, fire hats and all.

 

Aldon and "the Godfather."

 Poor Bowen missed both his preschool program and the Sunday School program because of the fever...oh that darn fever...

Aldon had a part in the SS program and did well! Yeah! 

I was a little worried!

There he is right there  "should not perish"

 And Carlyn had a speaking part.  Great Job Sis!

 Then Aunt Mal graduated!  Whoop Whoop!  

Ave enjoyed the frosting on her cake.
