Merry Christmas

This year, the kids and Monica played a lot of music for the Christmas Eve church service.

Here are Nicholas and Clara playing Away in a Manger during the prelude.

Clara played Silent Night during the service.

We were all super excited that Grandma Rudy joined us at our home this year.

Cookies

Even with our busy schedule this year we managed to make some cookies.

Nutcracker

We enjoyed a wonderful performance of the Nutcracker at the beautiful Ohio Theatre. One of Clara's friends was dancing and her violin teacher played in the pit.

Christmas Spirit

Check out the post at Homemaking with Monica for a tour of our decorated home.

Enjoy!

Happy St. Nikolaus Day

We had to wait all day to see what was inside our stockings. There was much excitement when John got home.
