Christmas is coming!!  This week Jakey's class had their Christmas Program.  These two year olds were too enthralled by their audience and didn't sing, but they had big smiles when it was all over.  Will went to ILLINI baseball camp at the university.  We stopped by to see what he was learning, but he put his ball mitt in front of his face and wouldn't let me take his picture.  EJ Water held their annual Christmas Party at Richard's Farm in Casey.  We were entertained by Steve Barcellona, a magician from St. Louis.



Jakey with his class looks around while their teachers lead them in song.



The pressure is off; now I can smile.

Are you ignoring me, Will?

Locking the handcuffs, good and tight!

 

Holding the screen.



After first attempt, Steve has the jacket half off.

 

Then it's backwards.



Finally . . . it's off, but on his head!
