This was a very exciting Christmas Eve this year. It start out like any other day this past week. We were working on painting, putting things together and arranging some furniture. One good thing, is that all the painting is now complete, which I am very grateful for. This afternoon was going on schedule and then the chaos started. Mom came running into the house, tossing Christy, and screaming, "The neighbors house is on fire." We all took off running to the house and starting to take our turns swatting at the flames. The smoke was getting very thick and getting lower in the garage. My neighbor, Amy stated that she was in the shower when the alarm went off, the dryer was on fire. I threw a bucket of water on the fire, but it only kept going higher. One of the neighbors from across the street came running with a very small fire extinguisher. It did nothing for the flames. Finally we got the water house hooked up and started putting the water on the fire. Finally the fire department came, but we had the fire out. One of the guys from the fire department, stated that it was good that we had gotten the hose or the house would have been gone. Needless to say, everyone was fine, the house has some damage, but Amy and her kids are all safe. Now onto the rest of the day.
My very small Christmas tree. Next year, I will definitely have something bigger.
Here are the kids while they put on a Christmas eve program for us. They did the manger scene, while, my cousin John read the Christmas story. It was very cute.
