Merry Christmas!!

Wow! It is Christmas already! It seems like this year just started, and here it is, Christmas Eve! Here are a few pictures of a new experience for us kids--the last time I saw snow was 12 years ago, and my brother had never seen it before now! So. . .of course, when it snowed a few inches, we had to take some pictures! :)
Snow balls!


Mom and Dad


Jared loved making snow angels in the snow!




"The Kids"


The snowman Jared has always dreamed of making!


The lights down at the Plaza in Kansas City. . .



It has been fun to have friends over during this special season!
Last weekend, my family and I also had the opportunity to help with the Christmas Dinner/ Theater at Avondale Baptist Church, one of our supporting churches. We helped make dinner for almost 300 people, peeling and cutting up 100 lbs. of potatoes for mashed potatoes, washing and tearing lettuce for salad, putting the salad on individual plates, and on the list goes! It was a lot of work, but it really was fun to serve others!


Tearing all that lettuce--what you see in the bowl isn't even half of what we had to do!
Putting it all together on the plates. . .
All ready. . .

Jared having fun pretending to be a waiter! :)

The final product, after many hours of work, ready to be devoured!



Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Hi Angie,
Just finished reading through some of your blogs. You do a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing form your heart! It was a real encouragement to me to read of your close walk with the Lord and all that He is teaching you. It was exciting to hear of your desire to be a missionary.
I am praying for you and your family.
Love, Aunt Rachel Stucky
