December 2009

Much has happened this month. Bailey and David have been ever so busy with rehersals for the musical Oliver. Which I failed to mention earlier that they tried out and made it.  Bailey was selected for the youth girls chorus, after all there aren't any major parts for 12 yr old girls in Oliver.  David was selected for the Men's Chorus and ended up with a solo/ensemble part in Who Will Buy?  He was the "Strawberry Man". There were meetings, and Girl Scouts and school out days and class parties and band concerts to attend. We held our first ever game night on Dec 22 and it was great fun!! We got a real Christmas tree for the first time in a loooooooooong time and we made up for all the years without a real one by getting a HUGE one! It was about 12ft tall. By the way, it was our first cash Christmas in several years!  I'm so proud of us.  Not a present was purchased on credit, nor the food, nor the tree, which is saying a lot since we just moved in Aug.  Did I ever mention, I hate moving.  We ended the year quietly and together in our home. That is if you don't count the fireworks.  In Germany EVERYONE sets of LOTS no TONS of fireworks in the street at midnight!  It is sooooo crazy!!  We live right by the train tracks and even saw a group in the train having a toast to the new year as it passed our house right at the stroke of 12.  Neat Huh?
