It seems we have now partly fixed our Blogging problem and we are now posting the celebration of our Lord and Savior's sacrificial birth in this world, which HE created. We all (Us, Grandmama and Granddaddy, and the Stricklens) went to Missouri for Christmas. We had a blast and it was wonderful to have everyone together again! :) We were even allowed the privilege of being near when little Jason Clay Frodge Jr. made his grand debut into the world! The first FRODGE Grandson was born on December 23rd!!!!!! :) We love you, Clay!!!
Hopefully, we can do this in a reasonable amount of time. :) You know me - - I like TONS of pictures! It's killing me to do so few for such an event, but ho-hum....it can't be helped. :) Even so, it will probably be a longish post, despite my best efforts and the many, many, many pictures I'm passing up. :( This post will be the days in Missouri leading up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and will also cover both of them. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I haven't ironed out all of the problems with Blogger, this will be in 3 actual postings, but it is the same post. (GOT THAT??)
Enjoy!! :)

All of us singing on one of our first nights at the house.
The Millers weren't there that night, but it was fun anyway. :)
Granddaddy teaching us the milk and meat of the WORD.
Ahhhhhh! Yes! Dutch Blitz!
Here us older kids play.
:-D
Here is a sampling of our breakfasts each morning. Doesn't it look good?? :-D
Decorating the old house for winter/Christmas.
Here Grace and Mary are making snowflakes, since we hadn't had any arrive outside yet...
Grandmother, the official Snow-Flake-Maker, teaches and gives suggestions and little tricks.
Here we have the Laughing Room (aka the family room.) I wonder what we were talking about...?
CJ and his newest little cousin - - until a few days later!!
Beautiful little Savannah, giving the camera one of her sweet smiles.

Next event will be in Febuary.
(Call now - tickets are limited!)
Clay had a lot of relatives to meet! He did pretty well with all the names, and even some of the ages. Here, you can see that he was apparently being tested by Granddaddy on some relative or other. If you look at the upper part of his face his clenched eyes indicate that he is, perhaps, having a bit of trouble remembering. Or we could also suppose that he is bored with the exercise - during which he has already stated all the names, ages, and last names of his cousins, as well as named them in chronological order by family and also by age in the extended family. He passed with flying colors.
Paul's first Christmas gift!!! :)
Markie loved her books!!!
Emma was very exited!
(What 3 year old isn't on Christmas Eve??)
Opening our gift from sweet Mama and Daddy.
Rosie really was happy - this is just an odd picture in which it appears that she is saying, "Oh joy - a plastic toy that goes "Bing" when I push one button and "Beep" when I push another..."
In reality she loved it and has taken prodigiously good care of it and has kept all the pieces to it. :)
Emma, exhibiting the newest style in Children's glasses.
Emma with the rather stiff, small, slightly yapping dog - whose yap got more and more pitiful as time wore on, due to his batteries running down. But she loved it!! :)
"Coffee! It's snowing outside and the RV is having heat problems, so I am not happy that it is snowing, but I'm trying not to think about it, so I will be cheerful and cross that ice when I come to it. Think happy thoughts.....think happy thoughts...."
"We are cool!"
"Heya, babe! How bout you an' me tonight, by the changing table. Maybe share a pacifier? Make some beautiful "music" (ie:crying) together? Whaddya say?"
It snowed on Christmas Eve! We were all so happy (Except maybe Granddaddy?) and it was beautiful! Due to lack of time and space, I am unable to post all of our beautiful and artistic snow pictures. :(
"Do you see what I see...?"
"Oh look! I'm dressed up in my snow clothes, I look cute, I am excited, and I'm Sarah - so of course I am taking a picture of myself!"
Sparkie Markie, out in the snow!
Aint it perty?
The Kitchen Crew, planning Christmas Dinner!
Grace and her prize winning (they really were) rolls!
Uncle Chris and Willie P, fighting it out in the Living Room.
(I wonder who is winning??)

They are still duking it out.
Willie seems to doing a little better. :)
