December rush

We have been pretty busy. I think we are pretty much taking the next couple weeks off from school. At least anything big. We have little worksheets and things related to Christmas to do along with crafts and things.

She also had her music recital. Here are a few pictures from that. They didn't come out that great but that's OK. She had a good time. It was funny listening to her on the way to the retirement home. She was nervous about being in front of people and was imagining tons of people and a big stage, even though I told her it wasn't going to be like that.






This week has been very busy too. On Sunday I had my cake clubs Christmas meeting. it was a lot of fun. I got to go by myself for one. :) We had a cookie exchange and made a few different little projects to bring home. We also had a potluck lunch.

On Tuesday Meghan had swimming. She has finished her swimming lessons for the year. She had so much fun and I know she would love to keep going. Her teacher gave her and Joe a dolphin Christmas ornament. They were both very excited. Tracy is a great teacher, if anyone in the area is looking for someone.

Tuesday afternoon my brother Matt and his wife Glenda and their little girl Lily arrived. They have come out to spend some time here through Christmas and they will help us pull all of our stuff out to OK, when we move after Christmas. It has been fun to have them around and the kids love playing together.

Thursday Meghan had a field trip to the Phoenix Theater. We saw The Quiltmakers Gift. It was really cute and Meghan loved it! It was the first time she had seen a play I believe. Then this morning we went Christmas Caroling at a retirement home. They really seemed to enjoy it and everyone brought cookies and snacks to share afterwards. Tonight we are going to our friends church to see their Christmas program.
