Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
It was the first Drama Club play of Laura’s last year at Ridgeway. This year she was Alice #2 in Alice in Wonderland.
The play was quite cute! I was amazed to be able to actually hear her say her lines. She may mumble at home all the time, but she can really project on stage! Great job kiddo!
Andy is being nominated for Sigma Chi’s Order of Constantine award. The nomination packet includes letters of recommendation from other Sigma Chis and also requires a head shot photo. Since Andy did not have a head shot photo, a high school friend of mine came by last night to take them. She brought portable lighting and used our living room wall as the backdrop.
The photos turned out quite well with this one being my favorite.
The Christmas cards for 2016 are starting to arrive!
We went to Bass Pro Shops to visit Santa this evening. Laura asked for the American Girl Gourmet Kitchen and Pokémon Stuffed Animals. John asked for a mini basketball hoop for his bedroom and a ten-frame puzzle.
On a side note, Bass Pro Shops gives out free picture frames when you visit Santa on Mondays to Thursdays. It is actually a good quality frame. It was a nice surprise!
Today was the St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Christmas Pageant. Laura was a Wisewoman and John was a Shepherd.
Despite John’s apprehension over having to be part of the pageant (he was not thrilled to have to get up in front of everyone), both kids did great! I was highly amused that every time I took a picture, John turned to look and smile at the camera.
It is great to watch the kids be part of these traditions every year because they will be over way too fast.
It is time to tackle what has become known as our “Pit of Despair.” Now that the data wiring is done, we can finally get our storage areas arranged. I suspect this is going to take a couple of days…
Andy and I get a night out with just us tonight to attend the Fifth Birthday party for Big Tree Cycling. It should be a fun night with Andy’s bicycling team. Looking forward to it!
