december.  2011

In the spirit of the month of December, and all the joy of the Christmas Season, we wanted to do some winter-y things with the girls.  We decided we would go ice skating in downtown Atlanta, at the outdoor ice skating rink.  Then we saw the hour and a half line, and the 30 degree weather, which dictated we weren’t going to stay.  So we took some fun pic’s, and headed home for a movie.  But we never give up, ice skating will happen!

December is also a time for getting gifts ready for loved ones.  We decided this year, and we’ve done this in the past, that the girls would make something for each other.  Toys are forgotten and lost, money wasted, and this only requires time and creativity.  Plus, it gets everyone in the “season of giving” more since it is coming from their hearts.

In December, the girls started music lessons.  Alex started the acoustic guitar, and after a year, she wants to start playing the electric guitar.  She taught herself the chords, and is loving every lesson!  Madison started voice lessons, she loves to sing and listen to music.  Camden started violin lessons, and is a natural.
