Christmas With Chris and Steph

Christopher & Stephanie came to celebrate Christmas with us this weekend. Father Dan would be so pleased that we are still keeping the spirit of Christmas alive well into January!
Stella was thrilled to see Chris and Steph.... and get to sit on the couch!

She listened intently as Steph told us about the Border Collie puppies that will be available for adoption this spring. We are hoping to get one when Steph and Chris get their "Jim".

The first gift Chris opened was a Dr. Pepper bottle opener.

As you can see he was quite excited.
Here Stephanie was patient with my trying to get my new camera to do what I wanted it to do.
Stephanie's present: A handpainted Polish Pottery bowl.
Chris got a set of pots and pans.... here is an illustration

of just how fast my new camera is!
My present:Smiling St. Francis with a menagerie of animals!
Sunday morning we viewed the Lourdes Academy

1995 production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC starring the Hatton Children

Needless to say Steph was very impressed and Chris was very embarrassed!
Piggy Back rides!

Chris and Steph didn't stay to watch the game... believe it or not they don't care about football!

It was a wonderful game!
