Christmas Preparations and Programs

We've been busy baking cookies, cookies and more cookies! On Sunday afternoon we made 7 different kinds of cookies and I'm not even sure how many dozens we made. I left Brian in charge of cut-outs. I do not like them! My favorites are the coconut macaroons with the hershey kiss on top. They are excellent! It was alot of fun but an all day affair!

After the school closings/delays, Caitlin and Emily finally had their christmas program. Before the show, the kids could show off their talents with piano/guitar solos. Caitlin and Emily decided on doing a duet together. They did great!

Then Caitlin was asked to play a solo on her clarinet before the band played. She did a super job with no squeeks or honks!

Rachel had her christmas program and did a very nice job singing, doing finger puppets and shaking the bells. Afterward the parents were able to have cookies and juice and watch them open up a gift from one of their classmates. Rachel was so happy to see Emily and Caitlin there to watch her. They were able to leave school to do so. It was a nice treat!
