Announcing: Number 8

Arriving a few days ahead of schedule,
but at least waiting until a few days after Christmas  - grandchild #8.
Born Dec 27.  7 pounds 6 ounces

This is #5 for Kevin & Caroline.

His name is Caden Preston.
Another C name to go with the older C boys.
Keeping up the family tradition, Preston was my dad's middle name and is the middle name or first name of many boys in my extended family.  What a great family! 

New Sheep at the Inn

Scenes from the annual re-enactment of the Nativity.

I'm sure you'll recognize Mary and Joseph (also playing the Shepard), the Innkeeper (also doing double duty as aWiseman), an Angel keeping her distance from the group, and a reluctant sheep, our newest addition to the cast.

After it was all over, we did get a little smile from the sheep.  : )

Why do we torture our children with these Santa visits each year?
