Well not quite the snow part, but caroling yes:) Last Sunday (Dec 18) we held our annual Christmas caroling activity. This group of folks was put together 21 years ago with 3 families: Cramer's, Stucki's, and us. Over the years we've had very few caroling parties canceled - mostly because of snow, so it's something we really look forward to. The Cramer's are in Switzerland this year serving the Lord as missionaries, and Sister Stucki is quite ill so they stayed in Yelm. The Cramer's daughter Amy is living in their home and she hosted - as her folks were always willing to do - and we had a wonderful potluck dinner and then did some caroling in their neighborhood. Marcie and I noted with interest that 21 years ago when these families united in song we were the youngest couple involved. Our get together this year involved the children of the families and we were by far the oldest people there!! What a change:)
After singing in the neighborhood, we drove to Yelm and sang with the Stucki family who had gathered there to be with Sister Stucki - we had a wonderful time and the spirit of Christmas was certainly there. We didn't take many pictures but will share these few:
Gathering at the Cramer home for a wondeful meal and great visiting

This caroling activity is one of our favorite events of the year - this one certainly didn't disappoint! We love singing the hymns celebrating the birth and life of our Savior!

Great to see the pictures from the Caroling party this year. We were trying to calculate how many years, I guessed 20 and was close. Wow! 21 years! Wonderful tradition!
