what we've been up to...

...also known as "Hey, look! I downloaded pictures from my camera!"

The past few weeks have been action-packed 'round these parts. Last weekend, we had A's Holiday Concert. And, the battery did not die this time around! Here she is singing with all of her classmates!

After the concert, we went and picked out a Christmas tree. And then, that night, we took the girls to a local performance of The Nutcracker. E was entranced the whole time; A was good for the first Act, but got antsy during the second act.

We also got together with some good friends for brunch! We had a table for 14...7 of those were kids. Mayhem, but fun.

On Thursday, we got our first snow. Nothing like last year, but school was cancelled on Friday for E. They had fun playing in the snow...except for when I had to get on a conference call, then they were hungry/thirsty/bored all at once! Ah, the joys of working from home!

This weekend, E had her first basketball game! It's a school league, and John is the coach. Don't they both look so cute?

They ended up tying 10-10...which is the best outcome for a game when all the kids played hard. E didn't score any baskets...but she was a defensive powerhouse.

The league is made up of 1st and 2nd graders. I think the other team was all 2nd graders because they were HUGE...especially the amazons girls. Seriously...my kid (red #15) is off-the-charts in height for her age, and look at how much taller the other #15 is!

John's parents were in also in town this weekend to celebrate Christmas. We had fun, including making gingerbread trees...

and opening presents!

This week should be fun and busy! We've got a half-week of school/work around here, so yay for that! And, the girls are super excited for Christmas!
