Chuck is part of the Heartland Winds Community Band, and tonight was the Christmas concert. The girls loved watching Daddy play, and made it known to the entire audience that their Daddy was up there on stage. Anna even ran up on the stage at the end to greet him.



Also, since the girls were all dolled up for the concert, we decided to have an impromptu photo shoot.

Ella, with her eyes perpetually rolled to the side - in every almost picture!The girls with their Nana, who looked exceptionally pretty for the concert.
Me and my girls.
Silly Anna.
Pretty Ella.
And, of course, it wouldn't be a photo shoot without Anna's antics.
Here she is showing me her "bup" (butt).
We had a great night - Daddy did a wonderful job!

For the annual "Holiday Goodie Week" at work, I made this cute little Christmas tree out of Peeps and rice crispy treats. It was a hit, and pretty easy to make!


On a more somber note, Anna (and Ella, for that matter) has had a wave of sickness over the last few weeks. One fever after another plagued the little stinky. One especially trying night, her fever rose to 104 degrees. Luckily, she fought it off and is back to getting into trouble.
