December's activities

December has been a busy month with the kids school productions and concerts.  To start out, Tyler recieved his Life.  We are very proud of him and are eager to get going on his Eagle project.  (although we need to come up with one first.  Any suggestions?!)  James Mikkelsen is the Scout Master.

Ashley had her orchestra concert at the Kent Concert Hall at Utah State University.  The concert included all of the valley's elementary schools.  I was amazed at the number of people and the kids did a great job.  We are very proud of her.

Ashley and Kaylynn were involved with the Opera Club, an after school program.  There were 25 children in the group and they sang, danced and laughed.  My girls were the elfs.  Santa wanted to retire and the hunt was on for a replacement.  At the end Santa and Mrs. Clause decided they didn't want to retire, but needed help and invited everyone to help.  The girls really had a lot of fun, and we all know the songs by heart, since we heard them so much at home.  Kaylynn loves to sing!  Unfortunately, Tyler had his band and jazz concert the same night as the Opera.  Allen went to the afternoon show of the Opera and then to Tyler's concert at night.  I wish things didn't happen on the same nights.

While we were in Salt Lake for the week-end, we went to Lehi to visit my brother, Jason and his family.  They had a new baby a month ago and she is precious- Katelyn Rose.  I never heard her cry the whole time we were there.  Ashley loved to hold her.  I am looking forward to spending some more time with them over the Christmas holiday.
