The Nutcracker and Christmas

Well the kids school play this year was the Nutcracker. So we went and it was good. It was hard to keep a 2 year old and a 6 month old quiet and happy but it was worth it. Callah and Amanda were singers and Emily had the part of a doll. Thankful Carol and Pam were there to help with pictures and Charlie to help with the kids. It seems that each year more and more parents come which is great. This year they put the program on 3 times and all 3 were packed. They had props as you can see and they even changed the backgrounds. So it was a really elaborate program this year. The kids all had fun and I am still singing "can't you see those sugar plums......". Then they had all their parties last week other than Ian and they did a little ting yesterday. So now we are out for 2 weeks. So we get to do all the fun traveling and rushing. Santa is coming to Tina's mom this year so that will help. Here is a picture of Nathan at the play. He actually slept through half of it was worked great. Then he got down and got his picture made with a bear in the hallway. Well as the year winds down We hope that everyone will reflect on all the events that have happened over the year. We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the Best in the New Year.
