Busy Holidays

December is always SO busy.... extra busy, if you have children.  I am surprised at how many events Spencer has..... in high school!  He plays trumpet in the Marching band and also Jazz band.  They play at all the football and basketball games.  In addition, they had a Jazz Winter Concert, marched in the lighted parade in town, played with our church choirs Cantata,and also played at the high schools candle light choir event..... and that is just the first half of the month!!! I LOVE to watch him play.  I always get a little choked up.  He has grown up so much... he is an amazing young man.  I am very proud!

A couple pictures from the "photo shoot" I had for our Christmas card.  I'm including a picture of Addy... since you can't see her whole face, and she's so stinking cute, AND the adoption is almost complete!  
 
These two make each other laugh all the time.....it makes picture time easier!
 
 
 Sitting still is very unusual for her!  I had to snap this one quickly!
 
 
I am enjoying the quietness of the afternoon....everyone is Home.... most of them taking a nap! It's snowing softly and I am curled up with a blanket and basking in the glow of Christmas lights.
Life is good.

 
 

 Wishes for you to have quiet moments to just sit and enjoy!
