Christmas! That's mostly what I think about when I think about December and in the spirit of Christmas here are pictures from Emily's winter orchestra concert. She's a very talented kid and plays multiple instruments, moving back and forth between marimba, vibraphone, bells, drums, cymbals, etc. throughout the songs. It's so cool to be able to hear her playing, especially when we don't get to hear her playing at home.
Decorating the tree! Fern came over to help and they did not skimp on the decorations.
Done!
Cynthia making cinnamon rolls for our Christmas Eve celebration:
Each year we have our own family Christmas celebration at home before we celebrate Christmas with our families. This year we got to do that on the 24th.
Emily drew that color pencil portrait of Cynthia:
Then on Christmas we drove to the Conrad's. Remember when they were little and they used to ask us if we were there yet? Maybe that wasn't so bad after all.
