The (First) 12-ish Days of Christmas

Well, as it does every year, December is always filled with some wonderful events, parties, and activities for the Johnsons. Here is a recap:

December 1-6: We had three shows with GRD. We went and played at UNCG's Lutheran Campus Ministries, Confluence Coffee in Winston, and Greensboro Academy. Fun shows- fun people!

December 7: Brooklyn's stage debut in her school's Christmas performance. Notice you will NOT see any pics of her onstage because she was there for only a short moment, but here is her before the show in front of our Christmas tree and with her best friend, Kate, after the show.

December 8: What an awesome night! GRD had the opportunity to go down to Greensboro Urban Ministry and play a concert for the homeless. My mom had my grandmother's crochet group knit 120 hats and another member of our church made 150 fleece scarves to give to everyone who came in for the meal. It was truly an uplifting experience and really made us all remember the Reason for the Season.

December 11: Our annual trip to Four Seasons Mall to visit Santa. Brooklyn and I have an agreement at this point- Mommy will sit with you- you just smile pretty. :-) She exceeded expectations, though, when she SPOKE to Santa, telling him she wanted a baby doll with hair and gave him a high five. I was so proud of my shy little girl!

December 12: TWO holiday parties that day- work for me and our annual Christmas dinner at Memaw's house (both excellent parties with GREAT food)

December 13: We babysat for Zoe, so Luke and Emily could attend Luke's work party. We took the girls to McDonald's mostly so they could go on the Play Place. Brooklyn does awesome on the big slide, but Zoe needed a little help from Chad getting back down. :-)

So, that brings me to this week and several more Christmas parties...I hope I am better about taking pictures for the Second 12-ish days of Christmas!
