The annual Stang Christmas Eve was a success at the farm.
And for the second year the grandchildren performed the Christmas Story.
Bonus this year was Papa Steve and Gma Sandy's basement was finished and it's beautiful.
First time opening gifts in the basement.
Big cousin Ella was the narrator while Roslyn got to be the Angel.
Think Roz was just a tad excited to be the Angel?
Jake's parents used a lot of lumber from the farm to finish off the basement.
Very sentimental and well-deserved.
The grandkids were all very patient while they awaited their turn to open their gifts from Papa and Gma.
Andray got a Skid steer!
Roslyn got one of the only things she asked for...a Big Barbie with a Horse!
Can you tell her Christmas wish came true?!
One happy camper!
Andray added to his farm machinery and was very happy.
Baby Carrine had a great 1st Christmas with the Stangs as well.
Her first gift of CASH!
She even managed to tear the $20 bill perfectly in half!
Thank God for scotch tape! :)
CC with her Godparents John and Rachel.
Very thankful for their gifts, especially her 1st Christmas ornament.
Roslyn LOVES her new luggage from her Godmother Rhonda.
She brought it to show-and-tell on her first day back to pre-school this week!
THANK YOU!
Andray scored big time from his Godmother Sarah.
New farm machinery and a power drill set.
Despite all the incredible gifts handed out, the grandkids loved playing
"SURPRISE"
in the biggest cardboard box!
Cousins are the best!
RAUSCH CHRISTMAS
The Sunday after Christmas we were able to celebrate the Rausch Christmas at the farm.
So thankful Carrine could celebrate her 1st Christmas season with her Great Gma Mary Ann Rausch.
Photos like these are priceless.
Very grateful our kids have a relationship with their 3 Great Gma's.
Great Gma Rausch is very thoughtful. She gave all her great-grandchildren some cash and a piece of candy.
Roslyn (as witty as she is) figured out that Carrine couldn't eat her candy, so she "thoughtfully" offered to eat CC's chocolate for her.
What a great Big Sister!
Very grateful for all the wonderful things Gma Rausch has handmade for our family.
We have a new red hand towel for our kitchen.
Big Cousin Neely loving up on CC. Neely loves babies!
One incredible photo of Gma Rausch - told Jake it's like Heaven peering in from the window behind.
Looking forward to celebrating 3 more family Christmases this month.
