Grandma's 93rd Birthday

Just got the pictures from Maggie from Grandma's Birthday so thought I'd put them on right away.  Enjoy!!!  We missed you both!!


The kids and Grandma - had to pick this one because Uncle Glen is "almost" smiling.

Christmas is Here

 
Christmas have arrived at the Haan Household.  This little tree is MUCH cuter at night with the lights twinkling.  All done shopping and wrapping.  Just have my Christmas cards to do but they may end up being New Year's cards because I need a couple of pictures yet and you know how your father feels about having his picture taken.
 
 We celebrated Great-Grandma's 93rd birthday with a family party last Sunday.  Aunt Evelyn ordered the cake and it was really cute.  It was from Cosco and very tasty!!!  I have more pictures from Sunday but for some reason my computer won't let me save them so Miss Maggie is bringing me a disk today.
Sam has just begun playing the cello so every night while we were there, he'd practice his two songs for his concert.  He willingly practiced them and I could tell, he got much better as the two weeks went on.  His concert was the last evening we were there so we got to see him play his cello (well, actually we didn't get to see all of him  - just his head and hands.) and play the bells and sing.  Way to go, SAM!!!
 Sam loves to sing - NOT!!
 We also were able to be at Chase's Veteran's Day Program (missed his Christmas concert because of Grandma's birthday party).  They had a big screen on the stage and Chase ws right underneath it.  Luckily they put it up when the kids started playing.
 Did you know that there are four verses to the Star Spangled Banner and we sang all four of them - that was a tidbit we learned from Chase.  Their band did very well - I'm impressed with how well they sounded.  It was a very nice program.  Keep it up, Chase - maybe you'll be another Lawrence Welk.

I know I have not been very faithful in doing my blog - sorry!!!  I will try to do better but then I always say that.

Have a great weekend!!!
Love to all,
