347- Christmas Cheer

I live in one of the most wonderful places in the world. Tonight we had our annual neighborhood Christmas sing-a-long and bonfire in lieu of gifts between neighbors we donate to the local Kiwanis or other charity. In years past we've even had Chestnut Roasting on an Open Fire! (They might be good if they weren't burned!)



Here are some of the wonderful folks in out ward/neighborhood.



One of our organizers, the Bowns.



Angela,Phoenix and Judith.



This little guy was just a toddler when we move here and now look at him, he is singing to all of us. (Colton's been on my blog before!)



Clark Rick's folks just happened to be passing through so they came with them complete with banjo and guitar for accompaniment.



And here's cute Brother and Sister Ricks singing *Suzie the snowflake (or snowman)*.



Ann, another of the organizers, joins Candi... aren't these such cute girls?



More cute girls, Kristi and her daughter Ashley



Karen teaches the singing in Primary. She had these four little brave little girls sang one of their songs for us... in a round!  (Ashley, Abby, Brenna, Sierra)



Here with their pretty mama are *Peanut and Newt*!



Don't you wish you could have as much abandon as little Hannah?



Lastly, Karen and Debra.



We sang, we ate, we bonded... it feels like Christmas to me!
