Taking a break

I'm glad we unschool, and I'm glad we've taken a little vacation...especially at this time of year. As with almost every family, we are full to the hilt with cookie baking, shopping (online, of course), and family get-togethers.

The little ladies had their singing recital last Saturday. I could not go (I was sooooo sad) because of my Aunt's funeral. My lovely husband escorted Sami and Megan to their recital. He met Grandma and Grandpa Newlin there.

Dave said that Sami volunteered to go first. Where did that come from??? I was so pleased to hear that! I didn't know she had it in her! She sand, "Do You Hear What I Hear" and was a lovely singer, of course. She is so gifted in that area. Megan went next and sang, "Silent Night." For the grand finale, they sang, "The Chipmunk Song" with dance moves. Grandma cried, of course.

If I can get my laptop hooked up to the internet, I'll post the pictures he took. ***NOTE: I didn't get the pictures uploaded fast enough. Sami got ahold of the camera and accidentally deleted them all. :(
