Hale Family Christmas Party

The Hale family came into town. Sherri, Rick, Nicole, and Becky. (We missed Missy!). Debs and Brian, Hannah,Megan, and Alex. Scott, Amy, and Suzanna. Amy, Seth, Sam, Ellie, and Jane. It was so fun to see everybody. Besides all the travelers there was our family, Sandra's family, and Lori's family that all live in town. It had been many years since our last gathering (2001). We all gathered that afternoon for a familypicture at the State Capitol. The pictures all turned out so nice. Afterwards we headed to Dianne's for a nice dinner and an evening together which included the re-enactment of thenativity and performances by most the grandkids - piano, voice, french horn, flute, violin/viola - just to name a few. It was great to spend the eveing together and we exchanged a few gifts. The best was William and Sandras cookbook and Debs CD of songs by her family - so AWESOME. A Christmas to remember!

The pics of all the kids are darling. I posted a bunch more of the nativity play on our blog as well, and there are some great pics of the adventure to the Capitol - my favorite is Megan and Katie making faces at each other. Thanks for making the long drive well worthwhile - we love and admire you all. Sherri
