CHRISTmas Choir

This is James and Maggie's first year in Children's Choir.

They were excited to go to choir each Wednesday Night and learn the wonderful CHRISTmas music.

They were quite comical in their first performance, but knowing they did not scream or cry is GREAT!

The Nutcracker

This year, with Maggie enjoying her ballet class, we decided she might enjoy the Nutcracker ballet.  Enjoy was not the word...she loved it, she found it spectacular, and extremely beautiful. She sat through three hours of dance and never complained.  She was unsure of the intermission, thinking it was over; however once the dancing began she was mesmerized.

Ornament Party

We joined with friends to celebrate the CHRISTmas season

by having a fun filled day of ornament making.

Small wreaths made of buttons, painted wooden ornaments, and of course snacks!

Yummy Snacks

in the attic??

We needed to go into the attic, and with two curious kiddos you cannot help but take them with you.  They had so much fun looking and talking about all the things they saw...

"mama, here are the beds we sleep in, when we were little"
"mama, what about these high chairs, only when we were little did we need those"
"mama, what is this string for...can I pull it so the light will go out?" "NO, don't touch anything"
"mama, when can we come back, into the attic?"

I love new adventures...curiosity and all!
