Christmas in Groveland

Doug and Susan travelled to Groveland after church to be with Erin, Ken, Jackson and Oliver, and Scott,  Cheryl, Alex and Carter joined us.  I got something I least expected, something Susan was dead set against, but after consulting with the children, she okayed a Keurig (!!!!).  No more leaving the house without a hot thermos of coffee for the trip!  Life is good!
We had dinner, and then heard Jackson and Oliver sing with their choir at their candlelight concert. 
Very impressive.

Alex was a bit afraid of the dogs, Arthur and  Millie, but he got
a bit better as the evening progressed.

"It's a fire truck!!!"

Dinner was Erin's Grandmother's recipe for Sweet and Sour Meatballs,
 Salad, and then Cheryl's famous
Chocolate and Peanut Butter "Gems".

We weren't allowed to use cameras during the concert, so I don't have a picture
of Jackson and Oliver but they and their choir were magnificent!
