Catchup

Well, here it is, the Saturday before exams and I'm.....not studying. I swear I'm building up to it, it's only 8 am. Anyway, as you can see we got the tree up and this year Joe wanted to decorate it all in his moms old x-mas decorations. Every year she had like 5 trees in her house and did them all in Victorian ornaments. It looks nice.

Syd had her Winter Program last week and sang with the choir. For all the practicing they did they only sang for 30 minutes and it was over. I dont think Syd wants to continue with choir next year, she says its getting boring.

So this year we adopted a family for X-mas. A boy, 15, and a girl, 7. Instead of giving small token gifts to friends and family this year we opted to take that money and buy things for our adopted kids in their names. We ended up with $100 and last night the kids and I picked out the clothes pictured above. It doesnt look like much huh? $100 doesnt go very far I'm afraid. It made us feel good to be able to do something for kids that have nothing.

Ok, so I need to get to work. We have another Winter Program this afternoon at the courthouse at 2 pm. Ugh. Its VERY cold out today and I'm not looking forward to standing outside for an hour. I'll take pictures. Tata.
