Something About Me Saturday: December 2017 Pictures

I've been bad about posting pictures in a timely manner. So this post is a recap of some of the things that happened during the holiday season.

The first weekend of December my daughter attended the Syracuse Gymnastics Sports Fest, her second meet of the season. This year she moved up to become a level 3 gymnast. This was only her second time out competing at this level. No medals this go around but she walked away with more competition experience which is always a good thing. 

Then the kids had their Winter Concerts. Ladybug is a member of the 5th grade chorus.

While our big guy did a wonderful playing viola in the middle school orchestra.

Then Christmas came along. I didn't take much in pictures believe or not. I think I was trying to focus on living in the moment. Plus from year to year, many of the pictures wind up looking the same. 

My favorite gift was this lovely plaque my husband presented me with that represents our wonderful family. It now hangs in our dining room and it's one of the first things you see when you come in our house. The most original gift award I would have to say goes to my daughter. She gift wrapped a potato along with some other goodies she had purchased for her brother and then layed them under the tree. On Christmas morning, my son couldn't stop laughing when he unwrapped that potato. She got him good.

Oh yeah and then there was New Year's.
