Magical December

This month has been such a fun one!  We've had lots of fun things going on.  

We had a fun Christmas season!  We went ice skating--most of us for the first time!  We did our best to light the world:  we went caroling, made goodies for our teachers and bus drivers, mailman and garbage man.  We mailed out Christmas cards and wrote notes for others.  We studied the Christmas Story and acted it out.  The kids have played lots of Christmas songs on the piano.  We gave gifts and joyfully received gifts from others.  John fixed the clutch on his truck with the help of his Dad and brother Phil.  December has been a blessing!
