Kurt had a lucky day!

Friday evening Keith and I went to Angola and finished our shopping and went out to eat at the Herb Garden. Saturday morning Kurt and Christy brought the kids over so they could do their Christmas shopping and then Kurt had his Christmas party at work Saturday evening.

We had a fun morning. We shopped at Pence's Carmelcorn Shoppe first. Then we visited JoAnn & John so we could see her new granddaughter, Anna Rubyrose. She was one month old on Saturday. We went out for lunch at Wendy's and then did a little shopping.

When we got home Cayla was ready for a nap and of course Grandpa helped her take her nap. The other kids and I did some wrapping of packages. When Cayla got up we had supper and then watched the movie Santa Clause Two. We had some snacks and watched a little more TV before Chloe and Cayla laid down in our bed.

Kurt and Christy got back around ten. It was Kurt's lucky day as he won a muzzle loading rifle at the party. He was pretty happy about it. I took their picture when they got home.

Today Keith went to the gun show in Montpelier, but I mainly just relaxed. I have a board meeting tomorrow night and Red Hats Christmas Party Tuesday night. As usual the weeks seem to start off with a bang.

Looking forward to Christmas with our family.

Fun evening with the kids.

Friday night I went to Butler and met Kurt's family at the Chinese place. We had a good meal, did a little shopping and then went to the girls Basketball game. Casey played during the halftime of the varsity game. I have a few pictures, though they are not real good, I will post some. I think Cayla enjoyed the cheerleaders more than anything. I was very proud of Casey and so lucky to live so close that I can go to most of the kids activities.

Keith could not go as he had an open house for his auction in Findlay on Friday and stayed all night for the auction on Saturday. Tonight we went out for dinner with Tom & Mary and Mike & Etta. We had a good time. Good food and conversation.

Library Christmas Party

The Annual Library Christmas Party was held Sunday, December 3rd. We had quite a turnout, with 99 attending. This included employees, trustees and spouses. I received my 10 year service award. It is a clock. We took some pictures and I will add them. The clock is engraved on the top. It says - Kathleen Whitman in honor of ten years of service. Williams County Public Library.

Saturday we went to visit Kurt's family. We missed Christy as she was shopping with her Mom. When we left Keith asked me what I wanted to do. I said I would like to shop in Fort Wayne. He said on a Saturday night?? Are you sure?? I said don't ask me what I want to do then. So he took me shopping to Fort Wayne. I couldn't believe the parking lot at Glenbrook. There were no places to park, even clear out by the road!! So he took me to the door and said "Do you have your cell phone? I said yes so he said "Call me when you are done!? That was not really what I had in mind. So I went shopping and I guess I am getting old. I really did NOT enjoy the crowds. I got three presents and called him to come and get me. I think I will shop in Defiance or on the net.

We went out to eat at UNO's and got our favorite seafood and crab fondue there. Then we went to Gander Mountain shopping. It wasn't really crowded there, but not as much for me to look at.

I have most of my shopping and wrapping done!!
