We did make it out to get a Christmas tree...not at the corner lot down the road but we drove out to the tree farm. Of Course there were no trees bigger than 4 feet but they did have plenty pre-cut to choose from, including a 300$ tree which did not come home with us.
I am finding it pretty nice to have some time at home and not planning how to cram all the Christmas celebrations in before loading things in the car. Not having to celebrate our Christmas early makes things a bit more relaxed.
The big musical this year was by Andrea's class-5th grade....last one before moving on to Middle School. Andrea worked hard with the choreography this year. She came in from recess atleast once a week with some girls to work on it. There are a couple clips from the songs-she has a very talented class of singers!

If you have the time....Link to the entire musical...Songs make more sense if you know the story!
Two performances-one during school and one in the evening.
Cookies and snacks are always the goal for the big kids in the end.
Andrea has also been doing well at Basketball-not always too excited about getting to her games but once on the court she is pretty tough.
This past sunday was out traditional lessons and carols service. It is a big production with full orchestra and choir. This year they added a small childrens choir and some speaking parts for older kids. Becca did a great job reading and the younger two sang in the kids choir.
These are links to the kids singing-they had a professional opera singer teach them and made the world of difference in how they learned their music. This town is so sports focused and seeing a little push for the arts/music was just wonderful.
