The last few years, we have taken my cousins and their kids to the movie as a Christmas present.  This year, the $1 movie is now the $10 movie egads!!  So we invited everyone over for a movie with candy, popcorn, pizza rolls, etc.  We saw the live action Lion King.

One of my favorite days of the year!!

Riley and her friend A are meeting our substitute priest since they are the senior altar servers.


Youth choir and band





This made my heart so happy.  All of these kids are friends from church but many of them have stopped coming to class.  So to see them all reunited made me very happy.



Riley looks very athletic in this picture for some reason.


The first time we took this picture, I think there were maybe 4 kids in it.




Happy Birthday Jesus




Yep, she's never going to catch him again.
