December so far has been lots of fun. We've had all sorts of excitement.
Wouldn't you know, both of my girls had something "BIG" on the exact same night, same time, different places. I'm sure it's not the last time this will happen, but this was the first.
Emma had her first grade Christmas program that she has been rehearsing for during school for weeks and weeks now. It was a pretty big deal.
Linsey had her first orchestra concert and that was also a pretty big deal.
Here are the two stars of the evening.
I'm not sure what was going on here...
...but it must have looked like fun!
Hunter and I went to Linsey's orchestra concert. She is playing the violin and really loves it. I was expecting the concert to be ....well, a bit painful to endure possibly. I was surprised to hear real music... and they actually sounded pretty good! We had great seats, but unfortunately, I couldn't see Linsey once the conductor came out. Thank goodness I snapped this picture, because it's the only glimpse I got.
Jared and Austin went to Emma's Christmas program. It was darling and I can say that because as luck would have it, they performed again later that week during school for an assembly and I was able to sneak in and see it for myself. I love how these kids know every word and every action and they just sing their little hearts out. It's so sweet!
Although we are sad we couldn't all be together to support both Emma and Linsey, we all met at the house afterwards to watch video clips and eat ice cream together!
Later that week, Emma took the spotlight once more in her Nutcracker performance.
Emma & Sienna.
Emma loves to dance. She really enjoyed watching all of the older girls during the dress rehearsal. This really may be her thing...
Tis the season. I feel like I've been non-stop Christmas shopping, baking, making up goodies and gifts, and wrapping presents, but I LOVE it all...
I put my family to work in an assembly line packaging up our cookie dough for a neighbor Christmas gift.
I caught this picture the other day. Emma and Austin were talking about how Santa really fits down the chimney???
This time of year is so much fun! I'm super excited for Christmas this year and I think my kids are pretty excited too!
