Winter Fun

The Christmas season is in full swing and we've been busy having some winter fun! After not having access to our kitchen for a week, we spent a lot of time eating out and I, for one, do not want to see the inside of a Panera for at least 2 months. The kitchen is all done now and pretty much put back together so eating will return to normal. Today, the boys had a half day and we went skating with Christopher's friend James. It was so fun--outdoor skating, what could be better? Jonathan wore C's old hockey shorts, although he refused the helmet and gloves...

He really likes being out on the ice as does Christopher! Earlier in the day, Jonathan's class had their winter party...

Mommy brought the healthy (aka, boring) snack for the class while they also had yummy sugar cookies. Christopher's class didn't have a party but last night, Chris participated in the upper school concert! Apparently, a few weeks ago, Chris auditioned to sing the fourth verse of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." I didn't really know about it until his music teacher called me and said he had been selected to sing! Each year, one boy and one girl from each grade (1st through 12th) sing the song. It was so fun! And I am continually amazed that this kid will get up and play piano, sing, or dance in front of a lot of people. Here is a picture from last night. Hard to see but Chris is in the red sweater!
