It's been a very Merry Christmas. We hope all of you have had one too!
Meri Alan is one EXCITED girl!!! She has wanted a loose tooth for so long. Yesterday she came home with one that was pretty wiggly. Today I got a call from her saying she got it out on the playground at school. Her teacher helped her pack it up in a bag to keep it safe and secure. She has already put it in her tooth fairy doll and hung it on her door and can't wait until morning!
Meri Alan's great art teacher at Joyner sent me some pics of her helping to paint one of Joyner's guitars. I believe the schools will be displaying the guitars downtown at some point. Fun! Fun!
Meri Alan's year has been made! Our sweet friends, the Johnstons, had their fourth daughter, baby Celia, on December 1. Meri Alan was so thrilled to visit her at the hospital. This was Meri Alan's first visit to the hospital. She loved looking through the glass at all of the babies. She said it was just like at the Cabbage Patch hospital only they were real. If you know Meri Alan you know she LOVES babies!! Mrs. Carley made her year when she asked Meri Alan if she wanted to hold baby Celia. After applying a lot of Germex to Meri Alan's hands we put the boppy on her and she held the baby! Here she is with her special friend, big sister Lucy, and precious baby Celia. 
Proud Big Sis Lucy!
Calvary's preschool choir did a great job last night singing their sweet Christmas music!
Calvary's Come Home for Christmas program was wonderful! The children's choir even got to participate in a Caribbean Christmas song. Here they are practicing and having fun before the show.

Sara Frances went on a field trip to a Christmas Tree Farm in Hernando with Rankin's 3rd grade on Tuesday. 
I hear they had a wonderful time and that this was a great place to visit! G.G. was very nice to go with her this time. Since it was Nutcracker week we were a tad bit busy! :)
