December

District art show was in December. Ms M's teacher had everyone in the class do a group project so they all got to go. Ms M was pretty excited to see her art work. 

MJ had a choir concert. It was the middle and high school choir groups. It was pretty good. It was hard to hear them at times, but they did great! 

Here is MJ with her BFF. They are the only ones who signed up to be entertainment at the blood drive. I'm proud of them for sharing their talents. They sang Christmas songs, and did a fabulous job! 

We started a new tradition this year, that I hope we can continue. We went and stayed in a hotel, swam, went shopping, saw the SLC lights, and then went back home. We had an amazing weekend! RB's sister and hubby came with us, along with MJ's BFF. The Em-A-Nator LOVED swimming. She had been asking for a month when we got to go to the show and tell (hotel) and swim. We had a ton of fun! 

We watched Miracle on 34th Street. 

Swimming.

#LightTheWorld giving vending machines. First, time we did this because last year the line was LONG. This year it was too but we did it anyways because it wasn't dark outside yet. Everybody got to pick one thing they wanted to donate. We donated socks, baby pacifiers, baby bibs, dictionary, mac and cheeses, and a school bag. It was really awesome! 

Then the lights and after dinner at the food court (that was CRAZY). 

We are hoping to do this trip earlier in Dec. next year and miss some of the holiday concerts and activities. SLC was a ZOO with people, traffic, and cops to direct traffic everywhere! But we still had a good time and I can't wait to do it again next year!
