Time to Bowl!

The Bischoff Family arrived on Wednesday evening and I had potato soup and chili fixed when they got here.  We enjoyed visiting a while, then Doug took the boys over to spend the night with Mimi (Doug's mom).  Thursday evening we all went to Silver Dollar City....Todd & Heather's family, Matt & Mallory, Matt & Lindsay & Cael, Doug & Wendy's family, Karla, Gary & Me.  We had fun and pretty much stayed together.....saw the lighting of the tree, the parade, let the kids ride some rides.  Then we tried to find a place to eat, but everyplace that had inside seating was full....nobody had 19 seats available.  Everybody was so hungry, we decided to go find somewhere to eat on the way home.  Sorry, no pictures...forgot my camera.

Friday, we went to the theater to see Tangled.  Wendy and the kids had already seen it, but no one else had.  Carlene brought Allison and Nathan.  Beverly and Maxine came with Heather and the kids and Matt, Lindsay and Cael came....and me.  I loved it.  It was  the best and funniest animated movie I've seen in a long time.  Again...no pictures.....

Friday night was Christmas Eve services.  Doug & Wendy & kids went to Hamlin and had Christmas with Carlene and Gina & Tony & kids.  Matt & Lindsay & Cael went to Springhill with Lindsay's family.  Gary and I went to Glidewell with Todd & Heather & kids, because Jeanette had planned a special deal with Todd, Joel Childers and Matt Murray for the service and invited us.  It was very nice and we were glad we went.  No pictures....

After the Christmas Eve Service, we went to Todd and Heather's for food, fun and fellowship.  Steve & Cozy, Matt, Lindsay & Cael, John & Beverly, Matt & Mallory, Maxine, JC, all were there.  It was great fun!  One more thing I love about this time of year is that we get to spend more time with the in-law families.  We love all five of these friends and their other children and appreciate them so much.
 
Since I already wrote about Christmas day and Sunday was church day for everyone, I will skip to Monday.  

Carlene, Gina, Allison, Nathan, Wendy, Lucas, Bailey, Micah, Ruth and I all went bowling at Lighthouse Lanes.  What fun!  And I have Pictures!

Here's Ruth:

Carlene, Gina and I bowled the first game with them.  Then the kids bowled the second game.  They were just too good for us, but we sure enjoyed it.

Sure would have been nice to break 100.
