Christmas Decor Crawl — Karen Kay

by

Howdy!

Because we spend our Christmas’s with my daughters and family, I thought I’d take you through some Christmas’s past.  Here we see one Christmas when we got snowed in.  This is a picture I snapped when my husband and our faithful dog, Wolf, were shoveling our deck.

This next picture is one where we were all being serenaded by my then four year old grandson.

These next pictures are more recent.  Here we have both of the grandchildren looking at the Christmas tree and all its decorations prior to going to bed.  This is one I particularly like.

And here we have the night before Christmas — before Santa’s arrival.

And now, I’d love to tell you the most recent story of the school’s Christmas concert.  The children of course did most of the singing, but occasionally the music director had people from the audience sing.  To the song of Jingle Bells, my grandson had a solo, while my granddaughter was singing do-op in the background with a few other girls.  A little backstory, my grandson plays a lot of baseball.  So, during my grandson’s solo, something was wrong with the mic and it fell down.  Without missing a beat or stanza of the song, my grandson caught the mic mid air and continued the song as though nothing had happened.  I got a few pictures and I’d love to share them with you.

First we have the girl do-op group.

 

And next we have my grandson singing.  That’s one of my daughter’s playing piano in the background.

 

Well, I hope you have enjoyed the blog today.  Although it wasn’t quite a Christmas crawl through my house, it was a “crawl” through some very wonderful Christmas’s of the past, including this year’s wonderful Christmas concert.

And now that the rush is over, I can finally relax…well, at least a little.

From our home to yours, we hope your New Year will be filled with happiness and good cheer!
