Caroling
Tonight our small group from church got together to go caroling at a local nursing home.
Some of the kids made handmade Christmas cards to give the residents and we brought cookies and brownies too! These two little cuties were a hit with the residents! Don't we just love little kids?
It was a time to show some talent and let everyone know something was going on.
It was a great experience for Zach and Drew -- to reach out to others during the Christmas season.
Sadly, Dan had a work Christmas party in Roswell NM, so he was not able to go with us. We all missed his presence and his voice as we caroled up and down the halls. Some residents were already asleep, but we did get to talk to a few. It was fun to do this together and sing together and we think the residents were happy we came to see them. Being in a nursing home is not easy, so we were glad to bring some smiles to a few faces and to our faces!

This is the view when you walk in the front door.
Here's a cozy spot for reading, talking on the phone or watching a good program.
Here is my beloved nativity set mom bought me years ago. Thanks Michael for the new sofa table. It is the perfect place to display our decorations. Dan's mom made the cute Santa and Mrs. Clause! So cute! I love getting them out each year!
Freshly painted fireplace. It's taken a few weeks to get use to, but I love it now!!
(Tag, your next!!)
