Craftiness

Note: Amelie has decided she doesn't like "curly hairs,"

so she brushes them out. Thus, the crazy hair.

DDP #11

John has been practicing for a Christmas choir Sunday

afternoons. He usually takes the big kids and Amelie usually

sleeps, which leaves me some time with this guy.

This darling boy showed up to church with

his shirt completely buttoned inside out.

And when we went down to fix it, I (again!)

found out he was missing certain under garments.

Saturday morning we surprised the kids with

tickets to a live performance of Handel's

performance. John has been working through it

in sections every night, so this seemed a fitting

reward. Plus we've been listening to it

so much, Amelie has "favorites".

Amelie told everyone we went to the "Handel Messiah Party."

Mach was thrilled to be chosen for the demo
