It's that time of year

It's the time of year for Christmas concerts, pageants and programs. With 13 grandchildren I get to attend a number of these each year. Last night my granddaughter Maddi performed in the multi school Holiday strings concert. Maddi plays the cello at her school, she started playing last year in the 5th grade and is very talented. Last night she performed a classical solo, .. It was a very complicated piece of music and she did wonderful. I was so very proud of her and her composure the entire concert, she was so poised and looked 16 not 11. Her music teacher introduced her and said so many nice things about Maddi and her accomplishments in music over this past year. She loves to sing and play her cello & she is performing another solo this coming Sunday at church.
I spent the afternoon yesterday and this morning wrapping presents for my family & I'm finished.. I still have a couple of small things to pick up, but I'm really almost finished..YEAH.

Last night was my Monday night delivery to family and they all received big tins of popcorn..A tradition in our family. Who doesn't love popcorn.

Got a call around noon from Morgan, asking if I could come pick her up from school, she wasn't feeling well and the teachers all thought she should go home. Kristan was on an appointment and I was available. So we spent the afternoon watching Christmas movies.."The Christmas Shoes", and another one with Naomi Judd in it.. both were good and a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon with my granddaughter.
