Christmas!

I hate those weekends that go so fast you can't even remember what you did. This was one of those weekends. It was good, it just went too fast. We went to the Aggie game Saturday night, they won so Mike was in a good mood! They play the U Wednesday night and I'm torn. . .I love Aggie basketball but I just can't cheer for them when they play the Utes! It could be a rough night for Mike or I, depending on who wins :)

We also had a family party on Saturday with the Allen side. Here's my cute grandpa,
My dad loves to make Kennedy pretend to lead the music, he does this in church too. He's such a nerd.

And the best part of the Allen Christmas party is the singing, we go all out singing Christmas songs. These pictures are of the boys singing the "Christmas is upon us" song where every group has a part, their part is the elves, "We make the toys for all the girls and boys." And each time they sing it they get higher pitched and faster, or their voices go low and slow. They're quite entertaining!

My dad's part of the singing is to be a tree, "My tree, my tree, is such a sight to see." He's really good at dancing and shaking his hips, pretending he's a tree.


I meant to take a picture of the snow- I love it. It's been so cold and icy but at least we have a lovely layer of white on the ground.

This is the last week of class and next week is finals, I'm so glad because it never feels like Christmas until finals are over. I haven't even started doing my shopping, I've got lots to do in the next few weeks!

Hi - I'm just passing through, but I have to ask... do you buy chance have the piano music for the "Christmas Is Upon Us" song? I've been asked to play it at my child's school this year because the teacher that always did it retired last year. Sadly, she took the music with her!!! Any chance you can help me out?
