NC Christmas 2015

After church on December 20th, the girls and I settled into Grandma's van for the drive down to Raleigh. Along the way we had a flat tire but eventually got there in the early evening, thanks to the help of some kind strangers. (Papa, notice that they're Harley folks!)

We enjoyed a Christmas meal of ham, mac and cheese, and green beans and then opened gifts that evening. Thanks to Charles, Superman and other super friends were a theme among the gifts for the Keanes. It was also neat to discover that Jon has taken mandolin lessons from Charles Pettee, whose FolkPsalm CD I gave him for Christmas.

As usual, Kelly did a phenomenal job of choosing gifts for the girls. Hannah got a bucket of knitting supplies, and Sophie got a loom for weaving. I see lots of creative projects in their futures!

Monday we spent the day babysitting and playing with Carter and Henry. While Grandma was gone getting new tires on the van, the children had a musical parade. Later Henry did some singing with Grandma. We also built (and knocked over) a Lincoln Log ranch. Fun times in Raleigh for Christmas!
