Ely Christmas

On the 23rd, Sam had his wisdom teeth removed first thing in the morning and then we headed over to Gram and Papa Ely's for Christmas festivities. He did remarkably well.

We go as a family every year to carol at the local care center.  We don our Santa and elf hats and have a wonderful time singing to the sweet folks who live there.

Here we are singing as we walk the halls.  We usually walk through all the halls until we are dizzy, about 3 or 4 times.  I know I would get lost if we didn't have a worker leading us.


We get lots of hugs and longing expressions as we pass by.  There is one man that always gets out his harmonica and plays along with what ever we are singing.  He is really good at it.


All the kids love it and you can't help but feel the spirit of the Savoir and the season as we share our family with those sweet souls.

Then we went back to Gram and Papa's to eat and give gifts.

Sam held out all day and then finally passed out from the pain meds.  He really didn't swell much either.

It was tons of fun as usual even though we missed Dandi and Aaron and their kiddos.  We have the best time together as a family.
