Canche Chronicles: Our annual Christmas concert

Sunday morning we all slept in quite a bit so we decided to just go to the second service. Mom and Dad told me the young adult sunday school class was just going to be discussing the new church building project so I didn't feel like we were missing anything by skipping out on that. The girls did well in nursery, one of the volunteers gave me an especially good report on Emily. Well, she just thought she was cute, I guess that doesn't mean she behaved herself. After church we came home and the Brust family, who had only gone to the first service, already had pizza ordered for lunch! We ate and then put the girls to bed. They needed to take especially long naps because we had the annual Christmas concert in the evening. While the kids napped the rest of us prepared food and figured out what we were going to do for the concert. Yeah, hard to believe but a lot of the program is actually selected, rehearsed, and performed on the same day! Around 5:30 guests arrived and we ate heavy oer d'oeurves and then had our concert and then had dessert after the concert. The girls did pretty well during the concert. Haley did not want to perform anything until cousin Kelsey was doing a dance routine and then she randomly joined in. After the concert we exchanged gifts with our family friend Linda. Haley helped me open mine but soon realized it was not for her when she saw that it was a table runner. After everyone left we cleaned up and then played some games before bed.

Emy at the concert, her hair kind of looks funny in this picture.
