The last month of the year came! In some ways it went so fast. In other ways it dragged along. It was surely eventful!
Odd angle at the table set for our CFC Madrid Leadership Christmas Party. Finally! After all these years we were able to host it in our own home!
We went to Mapleview where all of Mrs. Wilbur's students played Christmas music for the residents.
Many weeks of baby growing belly!
Then we went caroling back to Mapleview with the church community. The kids visiting with Betty, a sweet lady that used to come to our church.
The Christmas Cantata, where Ben and the three oldest kids sang. It was beautiful!
Family picture! Last one as a family of 8.
That was the last of our times out as a family before Christmas and before hunkering down to await the new baby's arrival. We could just close 2017 right here... except, there was still one more thing to come!
