Some miscellaneous holiday happenings from December...
Neighborhood Events
A gentleman from our neighborhood is part of a men's singing quartet. For the past three years, he has hosted a free concert from his driveway for neighbors. This is the first year we've been able to attend. Andrea and my parents joined us for the little concert. The men's group sang all kinds of traditional Christmas carols. They sounded excellent! Our family even danced in the street to a few of the songs.
Later in the month, another neighbor who is a realtor organized a Santa drive-through event. I almost forgot this activity was happening until we heard a fire truck honking down our street. We all ran outside just in time to greet the little Christmas caravan. Our children received a fireman's hat and waved to Santa as he passed by.
Ornament Exchange
Jason's spiritual formation team at church had a family party to celebrate the holidays this year. The adults had a white elephant gift exchange while the kids watched a movie on the lawn (gotta love how the weather's nice enough in Texas to do that in December!). The kids also had an ornament gift exchange.
3rd Grade Christmas
Jaden's teacher sent us pictures of their classroom Christmas party. Looks like the kids had a great time making a Santa parachute, constructing a real "shelf" for an elf, and playing boys vs. girls stacking games.
