Master S is in the Jazz Band this year and loves it. In December he played in a festival in Bloomington with the Jazz Band and had a solo that he won an award for. So amazed at his courage to do new things and embrace the anxiety that comes with performing in front of people!
On the way home from watching Master S in Jazz Band, we stopped at a tree farm.
We didn't want a huge tree ...
Miss Lilly wasn't convinced this was the one ...
But I think everyone ended up happy on the drive home. Maybe ...
We had our annual Christmas Eve party and I had a dear friend join us. We had over 25 people in our house! It was constant crazy, but so much fun! The annual gingerbread contest was held,
awards were given, we had a fabulous Italian dinner and J.D. made Mormon friendly Tiramisu and the kids acted out the nativity while we read the story in Luke II.
The highlight was J.D.'s parents joined us for Christmas this year. It was wonderful to have them here.
Christmas morning, bright and early!!!
Miss Lilly loved her new camera.
Big D trying out the nerf guns with the 'angry bird' cans - see our beautiful tree in the living room?!
Master S figuring out his quadcopter.
A few days after Christmas we took J.D.'s parents and the kids to see 'Jingle Rail's' at the Eiteljorg museum in Indianapolis.
It is always a really impressive train display.
Here are the kids entertaining themselves, playing twister together - love Big D's face. He loves being in the position to torture his older siblings!
The kids and I hanging out.
And now it is January - and it is SO COLD! Love the Midwest and the artic air!
