Christmas

We had a great Christmas and hope all of our friends and family did to. I even attempted Ice skating with the kids on Christmas Eve. I didn't fall down but I stayed pretty close to the wall. Katie also clung to the wall but the other three seemed to do okay. The kids had a great Christmas morning and are enjoying their toys and have had fun seeing cousins the past few days. They had fun trying out their new sleds yesterday with cousins on Granny hill, and can't wait to see the rest of the family tomorrow at an early New Year's Eve party.

Merry Christmas....and a Happy New Year!!

Christmastime is near...

Wow, I can't believe that Christmas is less than a week a way. Once school started it feels like all we have done is run, run, run. Shawn and Jessica are still taking piano although begrudgingly. Jessica has dance two nights a week and Katie is also taking a dance class. Shawn and Jessica have been going to school choir 2 mornings a week and last Wednesday we had both Katie and Jessica's Christmas Dance showcases and the choir concert plus I had to go to the Cannery all in the same night. It was a busy night but we made it to everything although Jessica had to leave dance a few minutes early to make the choir concert. Shawn, Jessica, and Jeremy also tryed out for the school play. "You're a good man Charlie Brown." they are all in the chorus. Jessica is a Peanut gallery dancer and Shawn and Jeremy are on the Mean Team. They have rehearsals just once a week on Tuesday's. Katie and I go hang out and help keep the cast under control. They have over 100 kids there for the Tuesday practices. The performances will be in February so that will continue after Christmas break.

I think Brett and I are pretty much done with our Christmas shopping but there are a few gifts that we seem to always leave until the last minute. Now we just have to find time to wrap everything.

Well I'm looking forward to seeing everyone over the Christmas holidays. It was great to go to my sister Jill's over Thanksgiving and we will enjoy seeing everyone again in Brigham City and Nephi in the next 2 weeks.

The kids are out of school so I am going to be a slave driver Monday and Tuesday to get this house clean and all the neighbor treats made. Once we clean hopefully we can have a couple of days to relax before the big Day.
