Fueled By Sugar

You can't help but love children's programs, especially at this time of the year. Bike man and I drove over to Farmington/Hampton, MN this afternoon because his two grandsons were participating in their church school Christmas program. Ian is on the left in the burgundy stripped shirt (arms up high) and Quentin is on the left in the white & brown stripped shirt (arms not lifted high).

It was a great program, but.........

The parents, children and guests were invited to a dinner prepared by the church ladies, before the Christmas program.

After the dinner, which consisted of ham sandwiches, German potato salad, 2 jello salads, pistachio pudding salad, red cabbage and LOTS of Christmas cookies, let's just say ALL the kids were wired.

And I mean wired.....like pinging off the wall wired!

Ok, so now the kids are going to go upstairs in the church and sing there little hearts out. Yup, that's exactly what they did.

They were fueled by SUGAR.

Those children (29 in total) sang as loud as they could. You couldn't help but smile when you heard their singing voices.

Bike man's daughter, Traci, posed for a quick glamor shot before the program!

It was a good family day. The grandsons were excited we came to visit and we spent several hours watching the boys play and talking about their school activities.

This was also a major day for bike man's granddaughter, Alex (the boy's older sister.) Today was Alex's first official day working at a brand new McDonald's. We stopped by the McDonald's before leaving Minnesota tonight to see our granddaughter. I can't believe how grown up Alex is and now she's talking about attending UMD where our daughter is graduating from in two weeks.

The circle of life continues..........
