Jingle Through December

First off, just want to share a link that has my preschool kids and I being featured on Issaquah press.  How cool!  We worked hard on that Jingle Bells song

 Fancied it up for a night.  Zillow's Christmas party.  They gave everyone an echo.  We are having a tons of fun with it.

 Do we look good together?  Dan in a suit, wham!  He's hot!!!

 They did such a good job with the decor.  I'm always impressed

We ate and danced the night away

The tree got put up

 I had another little photo shoot I did for a friend and I brought Darion and Ronin so they could take pictures with Santa.  From this picture can you tell how much Darion loved Santa?  Issaquah village did a good job with the decor and that Santa was so friendly and jolly.  We had cookies with Santa and afterward headed to the toy store next to the Santa's shop for a test drive on the toys

My partner for IH playgroup came over one day and we did gingerbread decorating and Ronin's favorite girl friend came over as well with her dad.

 We had a ward Christmas party.  We thought we'd give the Santa picture another go.  Nope, it did not improve for Darion.

The biggest event for me in December was the Solo performance I did for the Festival of the Nativities.  I prepared a half an hour of music and asked a non member friend who was also the co-op teacher with me last summer to accompany me.  She played the piano and the guitar.  I sang "Gesu Bambino, What Child is This, A long Time Ago, I heard the Bells, It came upon a midnight clear"

After my performance we got all dressed up and posed for the Nativity scene

Then we made cookies and treats for the neighbors and dropped them off

I made a few hooded towels for gifts to friends kids and my nephews

Then it was Christmas shopping and wrapping

We had our Christmas celebration and gift opening and headed to Oregon
