Christmas

Wow!  When Christmas came, it came fast and furious.   I enjoyed this year more than any I do believe.  We were busy and busy!  It was great to spend time with family and friends and cherish the reason for the season - Jesus birth!  My son, Gehrig, caught on to both meanings of Christmas.  He was so much fun, watching the excitement and joy in his face.  He really enjoyed playing with his friends and cousins.  Here's to a great 2012!  Happy New Year to all!

Church Christmas Program

We had our Christmas program at church.  It was so cute!  The props turned out fantastic.  The play was based on the story of Jesus birth from Luke.  Gehrig was a game player.  His group, the frogs, sang Away in the Manager.  The kids did a fantastic job. 

Preschool Christmas Party

Gehrig had his preschool Christmas party.  Each of the children brought a book to give for a gift.  As Ms. Kristie read "Twas the Night Before Christmas", the children would pass the book to their neighbor every time the word "the" was read.  Gehrig received a really nice book from a friend and the teachers gave him one too.  The kids had a snack and received some other goodies from their friends.  I was amazed at how quiet and patient this class was when each child opened their gift.  This is Gehrig's last year of preschool.  He has learned so much.  We are very thankful to Memorial for being so wonderful!

Trip to Polar Express

We made a trip to the Polar Express via the Ky Railway Museum.  We had so much fun singing songs, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies.  Santa and Rudolph made a surprise visit too!  Gehrig is so excited about Christmas this year!  We are really enjoying this season. 

Time with Friends

John and I hosted a get together with Josh, Heather, Olivia and Hadley and one of John's highschool friends, Shane and his financee, Carmen and her 2 children, Jaylin and Patton.   John became reaquainted with Shane during soccer season as Patton was on Gehrig's team.  Gehrig has found a new buddy in Patton.  They played together so well that we forgot they were even there.  The rest of us had just as much fun too. 

Christmas Tea

All the Galvin ladies accompanied Grandmother to the Christmas Tea at the State Theater.   We enjoy getting fixed up and spending the time together.  The tea and goodies are wonderful, too. 

Basketball Begins

Gehrig had his first basketball game on Sat. Dec. 3.  His coach is Cody Elmore and his team is called the Suns.  He got a steal, got a good drive to the basket and attempted a shot.  He didn't too bad for his game.  Most importantly, he had a lot of fun playing and is making new friends.
