Holiday Concerts!

Three of the kids had holiday concerts to attend.  Ava had a "Go West" theme.  Aslynn's group did "The Polar Express (wearing pj's).  Daniel had two choir concerts.  An informal one uptown to kickoff the downtown lights and Christmas festivities.  It was cold!!!!  The other concert was his more formal concert, wearing his favorite penguin-style attire!  Missed not having Derek participate in a Christmas choir concert this year, but he was not able to squeeze choir into his schedule.  The girls also performed a newer rendition of "Angels We Have Heard on High" at church. 

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in Cedarville.  We got to spend some time with Great Grandma Amstutz.  Of course, spending time with Cousin Asher and Uncle Jeff is always a hit.  Grandma and Grandpa prepared a yummy dinner!  So fun to be able to spend time with family on these holidays.  We missed that when we lived so far away!  Now, we only have to travel an hour and a half to see both sides of the family!  Pretty spoiled!!!!!  :)  The girls are very creative!  They are displaying the bows and arrows, etc. they made for decorations!!!!!  Clever girls!!!!!!
