ALVIN

Well we saw the new Alvin and the Chipmunk's movie.  It was very cute.  Garrett is getting big enough to understand some of the adult humor that comes in the kid movies.  A busy day for the movies.  Schools out, parents are off of work, and kids need something to do.  We went with Lori, Donnie Ray and Cooper.  There is nothing like movie popcorn.  Everyone wanted to hold the popcorn bucket.  All Ella wanted was Junior Mints. 

We had to take Gabby to get her nails clipped this morning.  She is such a sweet puppy.  We just love her.  She is 18 months old.  She weighs 52 pounds at her last well check.  We've had her 1 1/2 years. 

She looks like the meanest dog ever but she only wants someone to rub her.  She will lay all over you.  She thinks she is little. 

Tonight is caroling at church.  We always receive a blessing by doing this.  It is a church tradition to carol on the Wednesday night before Christmas.  The elementary children go to the nearby nursing home to pass out fruit baskets and sing a few carols to the residents.  It brings tears to my eyes to see the children singing.  What a blessing it is to serve.
