I love December because December means it is Christmas!! Our family loves Christmas and every year we all play a role in the church's Christmas program. This year's medieval tale meant I got to play a queen and Gary was scheduled to be king (he actually had to back out because he was sick). Maggie got to dance and sing a great song about stamping out Satan and she looked awfully cute doing it. Molly shouted from the peanut gallery this year but I'm sure there will be a role for her in 2009.Maggie and her daddy went on a field trip to Ft. Nisqually Living History Museum where they have a fur trading community from 1855. They got to go into the fort and take part in some old fashioned Christmas traditions. In case you are wondering...she's sitting in an outhouse in this photo. See what happens when you send Dad with the camera!
Maggie also had her first orchestra concert. She decided to play the cello this year and her beginners class performed a lovely rendition of Mary had a Little Lamb. I hope she sticks with it and some day she might be the member of a string quartet or youth symphony.
Meanwhile, Molly is perfecting her boo-boo face and mastering the techniques of the tantrum. She is really smart and although she spends her fair share of time in the time out chair (pictured here) and she self disciplines and even puts herself in the corner.
