Fort Robinson Historical Christmas Dinner

Saturday night we attended the 15th Annual Historical Christmas Dinner at Fort Robinson. The theme this year was Celebrating Christmas 1935. My mother did a fabulous job with the decorations, especially the fresh greenery and the beautiful chandeliers. She is soooo talented in that area....wish she would've passed some of that on to me.

I, along with Phaedra, had the pleasure of directing the Itty Bitty Kids Choir...11 itty bitty children, ages 3 and 4. They did an excellent job performing for a crowd of 200+. At the very end, Santa Claus came out and filled their pockets with candy and gave each child an ornament, as was done in 1935. My little Jaxon was one of the performers and made his mommy very, very proud!

Santa Claus

My mom and I took the boys to see Santa at the Hemingford fire hall last week. He was a very good Santa, and the set they had for him was very festive! Jaxon wasn't really sure what to ask for, so he asked for the same thing he did last year...Optimus Prime. Then he got a little worried afterwards when what he really wanted came to mind. We told him he will see Santa again in Crawford and can make sure he gives him his wish list. Cash was up next and just sat there like a little champ. He looked over at Mama and gave us a very cute little grin. I am pretty sure all he told Santa was that he wasn't sharing any milk with him! =) It was a great time, and we are so thankful and blessed that Grammie Debbie was able to go with us!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We headed to Uncle Greg's first thing in the morning to prep for the first big meal of the day. Jaxon had a great time playing with his cousins! It was a beautiful 60 degree day, so the kids spent a lot of time running outside. Those attending were Jaxon, Cash, and I; Grammie Debbie and Papa Jeff; Jeremy, Cherokee, Austin and Adrianne; and Greg and Emma. Damion and Daunee' stayed in Sheridan with Baby Lucas, beings he was only 5 days old. Daddy stayed home and slept after working all night.

Later in the afternoon, the boys and I came back home, picked up Shane, and headed to Alliance to Grandma Marge and Grandpa Larry's house. Once again, Jaxon had a great time running and playing with his cousin Sam. I am not even sure I can name everyone that was there, but there was a lot!

By the time the day was over we were all stuffed and tired! It was a great day with family...we have so much to be thankful for!
