The Christmas program at church. The children were just darling!!
They sang "Away in the Manger"
and "Christmas Day".
Lunch with a dear friend,Debbie.We like to garage sale together
and go out to eat.
When you eat at Panera, they ask for your first name. When your meal is ready they call it out. We had to laugh one day when we ate there. They called my name "Debby". Then Debbie's name. Following that there happened to be another Debbie. And finally, they called out "Seriously, another Debbie!" We had a good chuckle. In the 50's, Deborah/Debra was a very popular name, much like Ellie or Emma is today.
This will be a hard year for Mike and Debbie as she begins chemo treatments in January. We'll be there for you, Debbie!
In between the parties and get-togethers, I still get to have grandchildren over to play.

Hannah enjoyed our real stethoscope and listened to our heart beats. She took my blood pressure. As she was pumping the bulb, she said, "Nana, I'm going to pump all the blood out of your body." Yikes!Hannah is in Berean's pre-school this year. They had a program at school with the K-4th graders. Her very first program in the school system! Hannah did great! Except for when she picked her nose!
Last night was the hospital pharmacy party. I cooked all day. Allen was such a great help to me. He wrapped bacon around little smokies and even arranged the fruit tray! The tiramisu pie was scrumptious!
Harry won the t-shirt - "Original mistletoe tester"
Allen sure has some fun, crazy workers!
We have something every night until Christmas - young couple's leadership party, Graber family Christmas, a party at the Prairie Sunset Home where Allen's Dad is living, Al and Adam are going to a KU game and caroling. Then there is Christmas Eve and then Christmas. Our family will actually be celebrating after the holidays when Josh's family and my brother and wife can come down. How's that for keeping busy this wonderful Christmas Season!! What a special time to celebrate Jesus' birth with others!

It is the Season!

your food for the pharmacy party turned out SOOOO good! It looked awesome! What a wonderful hostess you are.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amanda -- your pharmacy party food looks great! Also, you and Debbie Fry have the same issue when Sarah Hershberger and I go out. Thirdly, I'm sure you were a proud grandmother even when Hannah picked her nose :)
