Update!

A LONG OVERDUE UPDATE!  Thanks to my father listening to me as I expressed my frustrations over not being able to load pictures on my blogsite.  I'm glad we figured it out!

Here are some pictures from December and January.  Of course, these are some of the busiest months of the year with programs, concerts, Christmas celebrations near and far and 3 January birthdays! We also were traveling for basketball with two of the three girls.  Needless to say, I was glad to have a few snow days in January.

Sarah and Jordan ready for their Winter Programs.  Sarah was dressed for a Broadway-style show entitled "Snow Biz!" which depicts the joys of winter and snow.  After the winter we have had this year, I'm afraid I picked the wrong one to teach the kids!  Jordan got to wear her pajamas as she told the story "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."  She thought that was really cool!

Jordan dancing away in her PJs!

CHRISTMAS MORNING!

 "I wonder what is under all of this wrapping paper?"

Sarah is ready to open her first gift.

The teenager is actually awake to open presents!

 Hurry up and take the picture.

 YES!  This is a neat present from my sister.

 Once the ground thaws, I'm outta here on my 4-wheeler!

CHURCH CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

Sarah played the role of "Mary", Rachel was a Narrator and Jordan was an angel (which took quite a bit of acting on her part!)
