Christmas time is always so fun!!  So many things going on and programs to watch!!

 Kambree has been participating in jump club all year in the after school programs!  She has loved it! They had a program for all the parents where they jumped to Christmas music!  She did so good, we were all so proud!!

 Kaizley and her bestie Owen!!  They love playing with each other and the best part is they actually play and have fun and don't fight anymore!!

Saying Good bye, it never easy!

The day after Thanksgiving we had the saddest phone call we have had for a long time.  James' Uncle Norval had passed away!  We had been at his house the night before visiting with him.  He had been sick for about 3 days.  Dies Friday evening in the hospital.  We are all so sad, he was like a Dad to James.  Norval and Barbara have always helped take care of James and his family!!

 James and his Mom and siblings!

 Us with Aunt Barbara.  We just love her!!

It was such a nice funeral service.  Howard and Latricia both spoke and did such a nice job!  I feel like Uncel Norval smiled down on the things that were said!!

 James and Howard were pallbearers, Kyron was an honor pallbearer.

 Uncle Norval was in the army and had a gun solute!

 Kyron and James putting their flowers on the coffin!

 Howard and James!

After the funeral and lunch and some time at Aunt Barbara's we all went and visited the grave!!  Uncle Norval is buried right next to his brother and James Dad.  It was nice to show the kids were their Grandpa is buried!
