an eventful weekend

Last week/weekend was the busiest, most exhausting of the month (year??). Whew!  I'm so excited to relax and do nothing today (well, if you count lots of laundry and wrapping Christmas presents nothing....).

This weekend Rachel performed three times in the kids' choir at our church and I performed three times in a choir at a different church across town (I skipped two additional performances in order to see Rachel in hers, or I would've been in five!).  It was BUSY, and I didn't know how we'd make it all work, but we survived, and it all went well.

 

Here are some pictures from Rachel's performance.  She did great and it was so fun watching her up on stage.  I can't really put many because there are other children's faces in them.  Hopefully I cropped these well enough.

Also, this weekend, my parents came (to see us sing) and made gingerbread cookies with the girls.  By this point Rebecca was done with baking and didn't want to pose for pictures, so I only have pictures of Grandma and Rachel.

And not to be outdone, here's Rebecca.  She was a trooper this weekend, putting up with everyone else performing.  She had to do lots of waiting around.  At our church they have this nativity scene set up, and she enjoyed playing in it while she waited for Rachel to finish singing for the last time.
