new bed



Gumdrop has a new bed. Her dad set it up yesterday and so far she's done great staying in bed for her nap and bedtime. She was climbing out of her crib anyway.

primary singers



Some of my primary kids sang at the Cancer Survivor Celebration. They were wonderful and even got a standing ovation. Most of the other singing booger noses were at a school concert, hence 7 kids, but they were great (and they got ice cream afterwards)

gumdrop








Grandma and Grandpa took the girls for the afternoon so I could get a few things done. The girls always come home with their hair so cute. I loved this little head of curls.

Christmas Program






Another year done. The show was fantastic and that says a lot coming from me, the perfectionist. We each grew so much this year and stretched ourselves farther in each of our talents. I use to wonder why people would ever come and see us perform. I thought they must be hard up for something to do. Now, I hope people will come so they don't miss out on a fantastic evening FILLED with the Christmas Spirit, not because we are performing, but because it's such a great way to kick off the Christmas Season. It's still hard for me to believe that my family can pull off a show like this. But, we had help... a lot of help from above.
