And, yes, we ran out of matches, so Jeff was creative. Luckily it didn't melt the ice cream cake.

Derek's Birthday
12! Wow! He got a new suit to look nice while passing the sacrament, but his favorite was the jersey. Steelers #43.

Christmas Eve
Opening one present--
Surprise! Pajamas!
Derek taught Samantha how to play Jolly Old St. Nicholas on the piano and he played with her.
Nicholas and Derek played Silent Night.
Jeff read a couple of stories and we sang songs. Then it was time for bed. The kids all tried to sleep in one room. They fell asleep fast, but it only lasted until about 12:30 am. Then they all needed to go to the bathroom, then about 2 am, Nicholas couldn't sleep, so he had to go back to his own bed. The other kids woke him up just before 7 am.

Nana Austill came to spend the holidays with us this year. She brought a beautiful Christmas dress for Samantha and the boys all wore Christmas ties. I also tried to get all the presents under the tree, but you can't see them very well. We had a lot.
The primary kids sang at our ward Christmas party. Kade is sitting with the santa hat and Samanta was being shy for some reason and wouldn't go up.
Then one day all the kids made gingerbread houses.
They had a great time.

A Season of Concerts
This is Kade, the small guy in the middle, getting ready for his orchestra concert. I forgot my camera, so we only have this one from Jeff's phone. He really liked doing the concert, but orchestra was before school and he didn't like going early, so he quit after this.
If I can find him an after school class, or lessons, I think he'll pick it up again. He was proud of himself.
Nicholas was in honors band. They had to try out and only chose a few from each school.
They invite a guest conductor and have an all middle school, one day event of practice and then a concert that night.
It was quite good.
The bad thing is, he didn't feel good at all that day, but we knew he had to go. Now he has been chosen by his teacher (two to the right of him) out of all the band students at his school to go to All-State in the Spring.
