Our weekend was packed full.  Gene returned from Chicago right before the weather got terrible.

Tara helped out NJHS by ringing the bell at the mall-cute girls singing apparently helps others to donate!

Emily participated in the primary nativity.  She is usually an angel-she and her friends wanted to try something different (so, they were shepherds)

This was such a great idea for a star....we just had to get a picture.

She performed for us a preview of her upcoming Christmas band concert.

 We have all of our Christmas decorations up and everyone looked so nice for church today, I just had to get some pictures by the tree.....

The girls and I went to the Nutcracker -our yearly tradition.  Thanks mom!  Now that they are taking dance lessons, the ride home was a lot more fun.  The 2nd Act really made them want to dance.
