Getting Ready for Christmas

School sing along

Elise all dolled up and sparkly for her program

This past week was a bit of a whirlwind. Both kids had programs at school this week, and both occasions, despite having been on the calendar for quite some time, really seemed to sneak up on us!

Elise was a bit of a deer in the headlights, but did great, and looked fabulous :) Jerod's school did a holiday sing along celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Eid. Let me tell you, it was quite educational for a family of very white folks from Kansas!

Today was church program today. Very fun and very cute. School is now out until 2009. We're looking forward to a break from the routine!

A nice picture

We once again had family pictures taken this year. This is scanned in, so the quality's not great, but I love this picture.
