More Holiday Fun. . .

The last concert of the year was Merinda's Performing Morgan concert which almost didn't happen due to snow. All of Georgetown shuts down when it snows so the kids got an extra week of Christmas break this year!

Merinda was part of the exclusive Angel Choir (which did sound beautiful, I have to admit). The only tricky part was coming up with a halo at the last minuet. I always thought halo's were supposed to float above the head (and in Merind's case, way above the head!). At least these angels didn't require wings!

In addition to playing instruments and singing, the Performing Morgans also danced. All of this occurred over a period of about twenty minuets - it was the perfect kind of performance!

There is a house down the road from our church building that is plastered with Christmas lights. 

This year I made Brad stop so the kids could get a better look, and I could take some cool pictures. Little did I know that the lights were also synchronized to Christmas music which played continuously. 

Brad thought it was all a bit too much and it stressed him out to think about the power bill, or to imagine he was one of the neighbors who had to listen to the music 24/7 and witness the steady stream of spectators.

 I just enjoyed taking it all in, and appreciated the fact that the kids had just as much fun looking at the lights of this one house as they would have viewing the Horse Park light show (which has about the same number of lights but costs a ton of money). So thank you overdone Christmas lights house for the free light show!

We topped off our Christmas celebrations with a plate full of homemade goodies the kids baked and delivered to friends and neighbors. The treat that didn't make the picture were the kid's hand-dipped white and chocolate pretzels, about a million of them!
