Christmas with the Kaufmans-- December 21, 2008

On Sunday we went to a long overdue Kaufman/Howerton/Cheely family Christmas gathering. It was fun to get the family all together, and to see the kids playing with each other. Taylor, Tami and baby Madeline.

Lisa, Lindsay, and Steve.

Caleb, Miranda, and Dana, watching a video together.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Dana...

Daddy came home from work with antlers and a red flashing nose-- Dana wanted to try them on and play some "reindeer games".

Christmas Program 2008

Dana's Preschool Christmas program was last night... Dana was one of the most enthusiastic kids up there-- Chase and I were sitting in the back row, and we could hear every word she sang!

After the performance, modeling her new coat from cousin Leah and Peter... thanks again!
