More activities in December

Weston had a piano recital this month, he played "Minuet" and "Jazz Cat" and had both memorized and made almost zero mistakes, he has really progressed in piano this year since I've had Michelle Hansen be his teacher. Jared and I were impressed.

Savanna did a nice job at her orchestra Christmas concert, she played Dance of the Tumblers and The first noel.

The last week of school Weston played again for the School Christmas Sing, and Fiora participated in a dance during the "Faculty vs Student" basketball game. Both were loud and fun.

Our nephew Sylvan Nielson had a baptism this month, Holly took our picture really quick after the baptism and it turned out so cute I used it for our digital Christmas cards.



Weston had gym pictures taken of his team and of himself individually.  Last year we missed the announcements about pictures so he wasn't in them and I was so disappointed, this year he made it. With all the time money and work put into gym we need to at least have a picture to show for it. Better shots forthcoming.

The kids enjoyed Grandma Sandy's Christmas party at the snow's home as is tradition every year. They made some nice crafts and had a gift exchange and games.

I got to lead our ward Choir in a christmas cantata for the ward's sacrament meeting program. It went very well and lots of people participated which was nice.

Our extended family on my mom's side got together the Sunday before Christmas and had a nativity and sing along, they asked Jared to be a wise man so we borrowed my cousin Christine's scarf to make him look like a magi and she snapped a picture.

I hosted a Nativity and Talent Share for the Barretts at my house, it was nice to have some authentic head gear from Jerusalem for the kids to wear this year!  Mom and Dad narrated, I played the piano, Holly took pictures, and everyone else role played the story of Jesus' birth, and in between we performed Christmas songs. Kelsy was Mary since she is really pregnant, Jesse was the donkey, Joseph was Joseph, Knightly was baby Jesus, Gabe was the angel Gabriel, Rachel Krystal Savanna Fiora Lucy Sophie were angels, Heidi, Sylvan, Travis, and Collin were shepherds, Weston, Trevan, and Kayden were wise men, Bill was Simeon, and Jared was Herod. It went really well and I didn't want it to end!
