Going Through Life One Post at a Time
Since 75% of the Kassels are heading to Camp Hohn for a campout this weekend, I decided to take advantage of having the house to myself. I enjoyed a Candy Cane Martini, watched Home Alone, and wrapped presents.
I laughed repeatedly at the movie, and I wrapped all the presents. It was a quiet evening that proved to be a great start to the weekend!
Tonight, we were treated to a great concert by the Hickman High School Music program.
“A Celebration of Winter” included the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Camerata Orchestra, and the Vocal Arts.
It was a fun evening filled with great music! I especially enjoyed the combined version of “Sleigh Ride.” Our kids are so lucky to be a part of this great music program. I cannot believe that this time is almost over for Laura.
Laura is part of Tri-M, which is a music honor society. As part of their service hours, they did Christmas caroling at the Columbia Mall this evening.
They played for about an hour. It was a lot of fun watching them sight read lots of Christmas carols. Laura had a great time!
The kids also got to visit with Santa. While it was only an hour of time, it was definitely an experience that Laura will not forget.
We sure do love this cat despite the fact that he is known as “The Menace.”
I bought a Christmas present for myself – a photo blanket – from Shutterfly. I love it!
After two days of hard work with many volunteers from Scout Troops 523 and 706, Laura’s Eagle Scout project is framed and nearly ready to begin placing all the ambulance parts inside. The beneficiary of this project is MU’s EMS Education, and this will help to train so many EMTs in the coming years. An ambulance trainer in an indoor environment ensures that training can happen year-round.
I am so proud of this kid for her perseverance! It is so hard to make the rank of Eagle when you are a Senior, but she started her scouting experience about two years ago and has not looked back. I have no doubt that we will soon be celebrating another Eagle Scout in Troop 523. Fly high, Laura! You got this.
Laura had a prominent role in the Court of Honor for the first Eagle Scout of Troop 523. She did a great job, and congratulations to Caitlin! Hopefully, we will be celebrating Laura’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor soon.
