Schaurer Christmas 2008

We had our Schaurer Christmas on Saturday. From the noise level, it seemed like a good time was had by all. We did find room for everyone to eat even though some of the kids had to eat second table. Thanks Mom and Dad for once again making Christmas work at your house. Your family sure has grown.  

Bri is "5"

I guess better late than never, but I am late getting Bri's birthday pictures uploaded. I figure I should update several times in the next few days as we have several family events taking place so I best get some of the older stuff posted. We enjoyed celebrating her birthday the first saturday of December with the Doug Koble clan and the Brent Rogers family. There were 3 little five year old girls here and I do believe they enjoyed the "Fancy Nancy" party. She is a character in a children's book that I read to the kids and they enjoy her "fancy" words. So even though the "fanciness" was not exactly my cup of tea, the kids enjoyed it! The pictures are a little backwards. You would think I would remember by now that they upload a little funny! Oh, well!! I can hardly believe that we now have two five year olds in our house. It is getting interesting around here and, yes, I know, it only gets better. Since it is the monday before Christmas, here's hoping that you are all ready!!! We are almost and I am definitely ready to quit getting ready and just celebrate the Birth of Our Lord!!

This is actually Sunday evening at Jason & Heather's. We spent the evening with U. Jon's while he was recuperating from surgery!

I attempted a "fancy" cake and Bri really did not want her picture taken. Someday she will wish that she had cooperated a little better.

The "fancy" table!

I hate it that I did such a bad job at getting pictures of the evening especially of our company. We did really enjoy you guys being here that evening even if you can't tell that from the pictures.
