Christmas Fun

We have had a very busy week! The girls have finished up their gymnastics and Music and Motion classes. We had gifts to make and give to our teachers. This year we felt the best gift was to give the Book of Mormon. After all, if they don't read it, they think we are a nice family that is just really into their religion. And if they do read it, and feel the Holy Ghost bear witness of the truthfulness of the book, then we have helped another soul learn of the glorious plan of our Father in Heaven. What is more important than that? Not to worry, we also included some tasty treats for their tummies!
The girls were able to perform at Willowbrook Mall with their choir.

That was fun! Afterwards we saw Santa!

Yesterday was a busy day! We had a Christmas home school party. The girls were able to perform there as well. The party was a lot of fun. There was a skit on Christmas in Texas, a craft (candy cane reindeer), treats (of course!), playing, playing, playing, and parachute games.
After the party, we headed over to Silverado Nursing Home. The girls were able to perform again (they are becoming old pros at this point) and visit with the ladies and gentlemen there. I was so proud of my little girls who walked right up to these lonely, elderly people and shared their love and hugs with them. There was a lady there named Joy. Jessi thought that was so funny! "There are 2 Joys", Jessi said. "One big, one small."
In the evening we went to our ward Christmas program. There was a catered dinner. Afterwards was the Christmas program. Sammi had a poem to recite.
"I wonder what does Christmas mean?" I was so proud of her. We had practiced and practiced. She knew it very well, and would rush through it, but at the night of the program, she said it at just the right speed and remembered all of her words! Yeah Sammi!
After the program, the girls saw a song with Rachel White from the ward. They did a beautiful job! Yeah girls!! I am so proud of you.

Now for a relaxing week before Christmas!
