Getting in the Christmas spirit!

The last week of November had beautiful, warm weather. Then December 1st came and we got several inches of snow. It was kind of amazing how that worked out!

[Here's Ian, Mike and Ella playing in the snow]

Ian had his first Christmas concert at school and we all got to go. By the end he was happy and really participated!

The second Saturday of December we decided to go to Pittsburgh for the day before we all headed off to our own home areas for Christmas. This will mainly be pictures, but highlights were ice skating at PPG Place downtown, riding the Duquesne Incline, and supper at Max and Erma's.

The week before Christmas we had an ugly Christmas sweater party. So in preparation for our party we made lots of goodies!

 
And here are pictures from our party. Heidi's sister and family from Phoenix flew into Pittsburgh and her parents picked them up and brought them down to Philippi, and their time here coincided with our party!

Ella's a bit hungry!
