It's been a while since I've blogged, so I thought I'd catch up on what's been going on around here... starting back in December :)
This Christmas, Carrie and I got to be apart of the Singing Christmas Tree. We both had a wonderful time, and met lots of very nice people! It was our first time in an actual "choir" so we were both nervous, but everything went very well. We were both placed in the alto section (alto is such a fun part to sing!) and I even got the solo part I had tried out for.

We also had a very nice Christmas. On Christmas Eve we attended our church's Christmas Eve service and then went caroling at the Nursing Home. On Christmas Day we had our cousins and grandparents over for Christmas dinner.
Here Sam is modeling the slippers he got for Christmas. He loved them and didn't want to take them off!
Here, Carrie is helping Dad fit the new counter into place. (Dad made all of the new counters!)
While Dad was gluing the counters and laminate into place, he taped up a sheet to separate the living room from the dining room, and we all went into the living room and watched movies while the glue dried. Our sheet-wall (sorry... no pictures) worked pretty well, and so far none of us are showing any severe signs of brain-damage from the toxic fumes... :)
And here's our "new" kitchen! :) Now we just need to repaint the cupboards...
..Excitement over, we are all settling back into our school routine now. I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Years!
