Again and as usual, I am behind in my posting. Here's a recap from October through December:
Kids from CWA come to check out tree removal workers
Abby's new guitar teacher, Mr. Jason
Abby chose to participate in Music Day at Clayton State University. She memorized two pieces and performed them for a piano instruction and was graded on that performance.
S=Superior (and I'll add super-de-duper, Stupendous, Stellar)
A little front sidewalk work
I emailed Ted Allen's assistant and asked for an autographed photo and they were kind enough to send one.
For Colonial Day at school Abby made apple butter and bread.
I enjoyed a girl's weekend with Teresa and Lazette at my in-laws condo in Buckhead. On Friday, Lazette and I met at the temple and did some work there, hung out at the condo til Teresa joined us then we went to dinner at Prime. We then ran to The Cheesecake Factory to pick up dessert. We got into jammies, ate dessert and just talked til 1am!
On Saturday, we did some shopping then got lunch at JCT Kitchen at the
Westside Provisions District. It was such a fun area of town. We got
ice cream at Jeni's and wandered around Star Provisions. We then went
to Sublime Donuts since it was just right there and Lazette got 3
donuts. It was her first time. We did more shopping then back to Prime for dinner. We got back to the condo and jammied up and talked some more.
Sunday was departure...so sad. It was great to spend time together.
Sam's school put on a variety show. Each child or group of children did either a skit, a poem, etc. Sam chose to share some jokes.
We took the kids to the dog park and also took a little nature walk on the Boardwalk Trail.
Baby Beckett Snow!

Thanksgiving at the Club...always a treat!
Work finally started on our backyard firepit. It took 4+ days due to rainy weather but it's finished and so fun!
