The Fries' : 2015

Happy New Year!!

We spent New Year's with our church family celebrating. We played games and visited until after midnight. It was a great time and I am so very thankful for SVC.

Christmas Afternoon

We spent Christmas Day at the Fries'.

All 6 grand kiddos.

Our sweet family.

Nanu and TJ

TJ got to read the Scripture this year.

Merry Christmas!

We always spend Christmas Eve and morning just the 5 of us. We opened all of our presents Christmas Eve and then stockings Christmas morning. We started the evening at church, followed by take out and then our new Christmas Present idea. This year I wanted to slow down the presents and so we talked about doing something different. We decided on 4 gifts. Something to wear, something to read, something they want and something they need. It was a hit and I think we will make this a tradition.

Work Perks

Tim's work party this year included making us the big winners! It was a fun night and Tim walked away with a new Ipod and I walked away with a new purse!

Christmas Treats

One of the perks of being a helper for Youth Group is of course the White Elephant Gift Exchange.

Especially when there are newly weds in said group that have gifts left over from their wedding that they bring...best gift exchange ever involved me winning a donut maker! From here on out, all white elephant gift exchanges will not be able to compare!

We came home one night to find out table laden with snacks from the Christmas Candy Fairy...also known as Ma Fries. She spoiled us for certain!

White Christmas

One of the local high schools put on a performance of White Christmas. Mom came to go to the show with us and our church family. TJ was supposed to join us, as was Tim, but TJ got a little stomach bug and had to stay home... I'm certain that Tim was disappointed!

It was a fantastic show and the girls loved it!
