Courtney has been busy playing basketball. She played in a tournament in Cooper last week. She is #14 in these pictures
When we went to our monthly singing at the nursing home this month, we took gifts to the residents that had been donated by the members of our congregation. The residents were very thankful for their gifts.

Ryan saw a word search in one of the gift bags that he really wanted. I bet Santa will bring him one of his own :)
We had our annual ornament exchange at church this week. Lenita was #1, and just happened to pick the ornament I took. It was a little Hershey's chocolate bottle with a Santa hat. Hershey is Lenita's maiden name. Since she was #1, at the end of the game, she could have chose any ornament she wanted, but she chose to keep the one she opened.

Makynzi turned 18 on Thursday. She wanted to eat at Chili's, so we all met up there to help her celebrate. Here is Makynzi, Courtney and Kaitlyn

Last night, we had a senior banquet at church for members age 60 an over.
The kids served the seniors a meal and everyone seemed to really enjoy the evening.
The banquet had a candy cane theme. Amy did an awesome job with the decorations.
Melanie had the kids in an assembly line to prepare the salads. They did a great job making some pretty salads too!

Even Chuck showed up to help. Turns out, he is a pretty good dishwasher.
Michael and Evan pretending they are on a cooking reality show. They took their jobs seriously.
Dessert was a choice of chocolate chip pound cake or sugar free lemon cake
Rod helped too. If only I could get him to do this at home?
After everyone finished eating, there was a game of "Christmas Family Feud"
Courtney is babysitting the Phillips children today, so Tiffany can do some Christmas shopping. She will be babysitting the Painter kids this evening while they go to the Kimberly Clark Christmas party, so she has a pretty busy day lined up. 
Courtney and baby Jack
Autumn and Aubree
I offered to feed Jack for Courtney while she ate, but she wanted to.
This has been one long post, and if you are still reading this, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
