Our Busy Weekend

This last weekend was a whirlwind of activity for us. Usually we are tired by the weekend anyway, and that was true this week as well. . . . .

Friday was our last day of Friday classes with our homeschool group. Hannah's strings class got to play in Chapel, which was exciting!
After school we spent our typical afternoon in the park, and then instead of coming home, Hannah headed off for a dress rehersal. She is getting to be in a concert at a nearby retirement home next week!

Saturday, bright and early, Johnny and I attended Angel Breakfast at our church. This is an annual event, and lots of fun to attend with the kids as they fall into that age range. We celebrate the Christmas story, with the announcement of the Angels that Jesus is born!

While we were at Angel Breakfast, Emily had her own Jr. High girls breakfast. Of course you must know there are no pictures here from that, because it really wouldn't be very cool to have your Mom attend, much less take pictures!

After all that, we had lunch, rested a bit, and headed out for the Christmas tree decorating party at the Library. Another annual event for us. The kids help make ornaments for the tree at the library, and a few to bring home too. Maybe next year Jesse can handle the glitter a bit better.

That evening, we headed out for our homeschool's Christmas party. Sadly, my camera was out of battery by then, so there are no pictures of Hannah playing her violin again, John running with the boys outside, or the girls all joining in the square dancing. There are also no pictures of us collapsing into an exhausted heap either. Good thing Sunday is a day of rest!
