Christmas day

A month of performances

December was a month of performances around here.  Following are pictures from various concerts, recitals, etc. from December.



Marissa played the piano at the beginning of her band concert while people were finding their seats.



Marissa's first band concert.

After the band performed, the 5th grade classes sang several songs.



Steven played the trumpet for his band concert.



Amber and Marissa played a duet of "Beauty and the Beast" for their piano recital

Megan played "What Child is This" for her violin recital

 

The Bishopric played "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" for the ward Christmas party



Megan and Maria sang "Baby What you gonna be?" for the ward party, too

 

Steven sang in the Middle school Men's Choir



Megan and Amber sang in the high school choir concert (postponed 2 days because of snow)



 

The girls got to sing together for the last song of the concert (Amber bottom left, Megan top right)



Decorating the tree

Everybody helped trim the tree, even Zoe the dog.  I don't know why David has no shirt on, he tends to take it off after about 4 pm everday.



Clary added her own decoration to the tree!



Christmas morning

Christmas morning was enjoyed by all.

Christmas Nativity

Here are some pictures from our make shift nativity. David played Joseph and a shepherd, Marissa was Mary, Steven was a wise man, Megan was a shepherd with her sheep dog and Amber was an angel (see her holding up her halo?).

Decorating the tree

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to decorate the tree! It is always fun to reminisce as we hang ornaments from years past and various countries. Good times.

Holiday celebrations

With all of the holiday celebrations going on, I was able to help out with Marissa's school party.

We also had a gingerbread house decorating party with a couple neighbor families. Way too much candy and frosting, but a lot of fun.
