Gingerich Family Christmas

Yesterday marked the official beginning of our Christmas celebrations. We traveled to Sturgis, Michigan to attend the Gingerich Family Christmas held at Calvary Chapel Mennonite Church. This was my first outing since surgery on Thursday and I didn't quite feel like myself, but was so glad to be there. Today I'm exhausted and thankfully my wonderful mom stopped by and helped with the laundry.

Ask Kevin why his mouth isn't open like Lyndon's when he is singing. =) I didn't know you took a photo shoot of the girls. So cute!

Looks like it was fun. Thanks for putting up pictures!

Do you still have the words to the Gingerich 12 Days of Christmas we sang years ago in Sarasota? All I remember is "2 denim jumpers, and a white shirt and a pair of khakis." We were supposed to wear white and khaki for the beach picture, but Lyndon or Kevin piped up (as Aunt Ellen) in the song, saying, "I wanna wear denim!" I just thought of that when I saw the picture of Aunt Ellen.
