Christmas In Indiana

Lots of pictures comming right up.

On the way to Indiana it was very cold. We saw a lot of ice on the side of the road. Jerrel wanted to stop and get out and play with the Icicles. He took this picture of me.
Christmas Morning Breakfast.

On Christmas day, Krista, Jerrel, Patrick, and I went to the Mitchell Manor, where Janelle works. We wanted to give to others who would not have a family Christmas. We asked Janelle to pick out a couple of patients there that would likely not have any family or friend come to see them on Christmas. It was a fun time and as you can expect I was able to get a funny story but more importantly, I was able to talk to Jerrel about giving rather than receiving at Christmas. We are very blessed.


We gave each person a nice pair of slippers. We found out when this man opened his that he does not like slippers. I quote, "I don't like slippers, Sock feet only for me. I don't like slippers. Momma always made me wear slippers but I don't like slippers. No slippers for me. I don't like slippers, sock feet only for me."
(We gave his slippers to someone else.)


Christmas Lunch.

Get up early, play hard all day, miss a nap, and what do you expect when you make a kid sit down and be still... even if it is for supper...zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

Could we please have all the children by themselves? Ah, Krista, Janette, and Dad... I was wanting to try to get just the children. Oh yeah, without you there as guards, we would not get all the children to stay there. My bad. And Dad, You make sure they look alright from the back. "Pre-she-ate-cha, really do."
