Still Going . . .

Yes, more Christmas to celebrate!

On Sunday (12/23) the girls had their long awaited handbell performance. They have been practicing for this for months and this was the big day. They performed 2 songs (Angels We Have Heard on High and The First Noel). Ali was one of 7 or 8 kids who played the melody part (the rest played chords). She has actually had to practice at home daily (for those of you who know how musically bankrupt I am, you can just imagine how helpful I was in that endeavor!) It's a miracle that she ever learned her parts!! They both did a great job. Grandma Klarner even made it to church to see them. After bells, all of the children, third grade and under did their Christmas presentation. I always love watching this. Ali and Emma are old enough now that they aren't the little ones standing in the front row showing off their panties, but these kids really are hilarious.

After church on Sunday we headed to the Alligoods house for the annual Patton/Alligood Christmas party. That is always a treat for us. The kids had a great time, and the adults stayed up until the wee hours playing games (sidenote: you know you're getting old when you consider 11:00 to be "the wee hours").

What a great looking bunch of kids!
