Thanksgiving 2011 - Christmas Programs - School Pictures

Here is the Thanksgiving and beyond post that has taken me awhile to do. Not a lot of time, plus our computer's hard drive crashed so we have a new computer system that I had to figure out. Plus blogger is different so I had to figure it out. Anyway...

These next few pictures are from Thanksgiving at Mom's house. We also celebrated Porter's second birthday. Here are some cousins having fun while Cheryl rakes leaves in the background.

Here's a family photo of us on Thanksgiving.

Kobe, Ryan, and Jenna playing in the leaves.

Here's Porter and his mommy Lori, with Zoey in the background.

Porter opening his birthday presents while his father Steve and his cousins look on.

Here another family photo from the saturday after Thanksgiving, when we had a another Thanksgiving feast at our house for Cheryl's side of the family.

Here are Jenna and Ryan helping me put up the Christmas decorations.

Ryan singing with his class at the high school auditorium during his Christmas program.

Jenna was in the same Christmas program, and here she is with Ryan singing some Christmas songs for us.

Here's Leah singing with her class at the same place about a week later during her Christmas program with her class.

Buddies? Perhaps. Alexander and Benjamin before their Christmas program.

On 12-17-2011 we celebrated a couple of Adoption Days, which are anniversaries of the days are children's adoptions were finalized and they legally became our children. It was Alex's 7th and Ryan's 2nd Adoption Day.

The next day the children of our church performed their Christmas program. Here are some pictures from this day...




Leah performing the Christmas Carol "Do You Hear What I Hear" in front of the whole church, as the rest of the children sang along.
