Pershing Family Christmas

We had Christmas with my Dad's family December 18th

Great Grandpa Wilbur & Joshua

I'm so glad that my grandparents are here in town and can watch him grow up. I wish all our relatives were closer for that same reason.

Joshua was the life of the party like normal. He is such a trooper at gatherings. At this time he wasn't walking on his own. He was using a walker and would walk holding your hand.

This little boy is so much fun. He's so cute, expressive really tells us what he thinks & what he wants.

We are so lucky to have him!

Cousins Braden & Arianna  show Joshua a basketball game that Grandpa Bruce & his siblings played with as kids. That game has some age on it!

Joshua was very interested in the ball...and it moving around. He crawled off with it several times. He even threw his big orange ball in there. Maybe next Christmas he'll understand it better.

Looks like a group of trouble makers!

Not to be out done, the men wanted their own picture. The men had to wait for Joshua to get up from his nap before they could get their picture.

Don't ask me why they are holding the tray of desserts. Silly boys!!

One of my most favorite Christmas traditions is Grandpa Wilbur reading the Christmas Story from the Bible.

This year I recorded him reading it so we could share it with the family members that couldn't make it.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do every year!
