Concerts Concerts everywhere!!!!!

This last week we had 7, yep seven concerts to attend! Crazy! Here are pictures from three of them.



This one was actually the last one for the week I just put them in out of order. It was the last day before Christmas break and it was pajama day. Here the kids are singing "Mr. Santa". (The 6th graders can't wait to lead this one!) That's the Principal sitting there. She is a HUGE fan of the arts because she also happens to be an Opera singer. She also joined in on "Silent Night"... It was AMAZING!



Jared is now in the audience... while they sang carols


Ruby at my feet



The teacher's turn


There's Cai Lynn




So here we are at "Shopper's Square". It's a little local mall.





From Jared's concert and off to Michael's (A quick bite to eat in between)


Yep, this is what she did through-out the entire concert. LONG day!

A few of my favorite people...

We had a little ornament exchange with the residents and staff. It was so much fun. Some of the residents made their ornaments.

Lucinda and "Diamond 'Lil"

Ward Christmas Party

As usual our ward Christmas party was wonderful.


We had a great dinner served by our Young men and women.


Cai Lynn absolutely loves her!


Can you see why???


We had some great singing...






Double Trouble...


Some PDA


Enjoying the entertainment





The candy passer-outers



Cheese!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Once again we all gathered at my mom's for Thanksgiving. As tradition calls for, I brought the green-bean casserole, rolls and made us a smaller turkey at home in the morning for our own leftovers. :-)

Putting on the finishing touches.



A bit of ping pong...

Dinner Time!!!!! The kids' table



Mouths full of food.



The Adult Table




As we were taking pictures we noticed the empty space and realized that both myself and my mom miscounted and added Bryan leaving him a place to sit. I made this collage for my mom after he passed and Zach grabbed it so he'd be sitting with us anyway.


After dinner, again as tradition asks, we all sit down to watch "Christmas Vacation" as a family to kick off the Christmas season.
