Tis the season to be busy!! It's hard to believe Christmas is only 6 days away!!! I finally finished shopping yesterday and today is the last day of school!! At work I accepted a 6-month supervisor job, so there has been lots of training going on and really strange schedules. Finally, things are back to normal, for the most part, and we are settling down and getting ready for the fun!!

We got a new family member this year, his name is Buddy, he is an elf that watches to make sure we are all being good!! He moves mysteriously every night to check up on us without our knowing where he will be. Brigitte has been performing with her school choir all month, and finally finished her last concert yesterday!

Brigitte will not be competing in the winter games this year, we feel like it is just too much to add on right now, so she has been working on her skills and just got her loop down! I wish I could tell you what kind of jump that is, but they all kinda look the same to me!

Thanksgiving is officially over and we are now looking toward Christmas. While I love this season, I am not so fond of the cold!! Ever wonder how we could have snow with warmer temps?! I love snowmen, but alas, snow is required. If snow is required, I guess I have to endure the cold!! Good thing I also love coats. My collection just keeps growing. It's also a good thing John is patient with my coats!!
Brigitte performed with her choir at the lighting ceremony at our local park. This week she is going to perform at the festival of the trees, and next week they are going to a retirement home. She has really enjoyed this opportunity, and I know she isn't tone deaf since she is constantly asking me not to sing along.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing Christmas!! (Is that an oxymoron?!)
