Merry Christmas 2007

Our wonderful 2007 Christmas card. For those who are a bit rusty on Cole-ese, here are the real words to the poem:

Let's look into the stable now.
Who do you see inside?
I see baby Jesus sleeping
Mary and Joseph nearby

Jesus sleeps, but has no crib
He sleeps on the hay.
Jesus has no fancy clothes.
He's wrapped in cloth this way.

Tuesday was the Christmas dessert tea at Church. Bryan and I sang in a small choir (about 11 of us) which was fun in a terrifying way. I missed Tiffany, who was going to sit at my table, but she was at the hospital with Joshua. For anyone who hasn't heard about him, look at her blog: tiffslittlebeckwithboys.blogspot.com/ . The most recent update is the as long as the doctors can get a PICC line in he can come home for the meds (hopefully by next week). What a terrible week that little guy has had, and his mommy, too. Tiffany told me he stood for a minute yesterday with a PT's help. Please keep praying. So, after that tangent, here are pictures of the table I decorated.

Our Christmas Tree

Saturday evening we picked our tree. We had a friend stay for the weekend, so she came along and helped. Each year we pick one that almost doesn't fit the house, and this year was no exception.

Hat Night

Cole and I wore our hats to AWANA. He took it off right after the picture and wouldn't wear it for the rest of the evening.
