This blog spot is primarily a photo/memory album for our family. It also serves as a way for us to share what is going on in our lives with our friends and family that don't see us on a regular basis. Ashley, Worth, Ellie, Emma, and Mack

December or Bust

The holiday festivities are in full swing. This week, we had Worth's work Christmas party, Ellie and Emma had their K-Kids choir Christmas concerts, we celebrated Worth's 38th, and we visited Santa.

Ellie had a solo in the K-kids concert this year. All the grandparents came, and even Worth made it just in time for the show to start. Ellie did a great job, but was disappointed in herself because she said she sang the wrong part. I honestly had no idea. You couldn't tell because they all moved through the solos so quickly. She did so awesome, even if it was the wrong part. Worth and I told her we were so proud of her because neither of us ever had the guts to get up and sing in front of anyone by ourselves.

Worth's birthday was Friday. He was on heart call, of course. He didn't want to try to go out to eat because of the risk of having to leave because of being called in. He, therefore, requested a dinner of tacos at home. I gladly made them for him, we sang, had cookie cake, and he opened his gifts. It was a very relaxing birthday despite is "house arrest" heart call.

Next week will be packed full of activities, so there will probably be a picture overload here on the blog.

It was hard to get a good picture of Emma, she was behind a big bow!  She is the one in the glasses. 

Ellie on the right end of first row. 

He turned the big 38 this year! Man still loves a cookie cake! 

The kids were trying to talk to Santa and this little girl just wandered up and wouldn't leave Santa (we were in our neighborhood clubhouse.) No mother claimed her, so the lady with Santa just carried her around until she found the child's mom. Come to find out, it was a little girl in Mack's class. She is the 4th of 4 children, so mom was not worrying herself at all about where this one was. Thankfully, she was in a place that was safe. 

We finally got a good picture. Mack and Emma rattled off their wish list, but Ellie froze. She said, "I couldn't think of anything. I need more time!" 

Goofing around in the clubhouse while we had doughnuts and hot chocolate 


It was around 40 degrees outside, and they still had the train ride. Our  neighborhood does not disappoint kids. I  thought my kids were crazy for riding it though!
