Our Christmas Celebration on Sunday, December 4 – continued

Those who didn’t want to make gingerbread houses visited in the garage or watched football in the man cave or living room. Marcy, Mother, Jordan, and Dustan.

Jesse decided to make a second one.

A finished one

This year was Roy and Deb’s turn to choose a project – in lieu of exchanging gifts. They chose the Lebanon VA Medical Hospital. The VA provided a list of items that are needed.

It was fun delivering these things to the VA today: shampoo, chap stick, disposable razors, tooth brushes, mouth wash, tooth paste, postage stamps, phone cards, word search books, etc.
