Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert SPECTACULAR

Stay Tuned - There is always a commercial before the news report on the Choir.

A month ago Brett spent awhile entering every family member in for tickets to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas program. The only people out of my family and Brett's family who received tickets were Mike and Jen and they only got 4. They were not able to go so they gave their tickets to Pat and Keith who invited Brett and I along. We attended Thursday evening preformance which was the rehearsal night but rehearsal who are they kidding. It was amazing!! I am so glad that we had the chance to go. The music really put me in the Christmas mood. Thanks Mike and Jen!

All I want for Christmas is........

Kelty and Teagan what would you like for Christmas?
SILENCE....


Saturday was a day full of parties. We had our ward christmas party with a visit from Santa. I wasn't sure if Teagan would even go and sit on Santa's lap since the last few years she would have nothing to do with him. She did sit on his lap but did not look once at Santa she just stared straight ahead. Don't you just love Teagan's hat? She has been wearing that almost every day to every public place we go to. I just have to not even think twice about it. Today I heard Teagan and Kelty playing and Teagan was Santa and Kelty was sitting on Teagan's lap telling her what she wanted for Christmas and Teagan said to Kelty - You better shape up if you want santa to come. HMMM I wonder where she is getting that from? We also had Brett's company party in the evening. We were debating whether to go or just stay home to rest. We went but we were so exhausted and it didn't help that the entertainment was a string quartet who played beautiful christmas songs but it was way too relaxing for us that we were ready to fall asleep during the twenty songs or so they played. And to answer my title question,What does Steph want for Christmas? I just want happy, obedient and well behaved children, who get good grades in school (pre-school). This was my mom's reply every year when we would ask her what she wanted. What I really want for christmas is for Brett's throat to get better so he can swallow normally.
