About: What My Family and I Have Been Up To :)

Hey y'all.
I know it's been such a long time since I've posted, and for that I'm sorry. I've just had tons of things going on. Things that take many many hours of preparation and leave no time whatsoever for blogging. At all. Really. :)
I love Christmas! It's the season to celebrate our Savior's coming to earth in the form of a baby to die for our sins. What wondrous love! It's the most wonderful time of the year! ;) If I may use the term so loosely.

Really and truly though... our Christmas season is just like the song!
~There are kids jingle belling
~And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
~With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends came to call
~There were parties for hosting
~Marshmallows for toasting (bonfire)
~And caroling out in the snow (skeeters actually since we live in Florida :)
~And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago (how about the first one?)
~There was much mistltoeing
~And hearts that were glowing
When loved ones were near

We did all this and more this past Christmas season! Lemme think back over the past few weeks and try to give you a brief synopsis of what's been going on.

*Que story telling music*

10} December 30th: YC started... we made it for a few sessions, but then Anna and I went to Hannah and Peter's house to help them tidy up and unpack boxes from wedding presents! :) That night, got Liv and we practiced music for playing in Cocoa Village (which didn't happen btw *sigh) THEN!
