Joshua played the role of Harpo in this years Christmas musical production at church. He did a fabulous job! The director just let us know the show is on DVD now so I will get copies to the family. 
It was so great to have Mom and Dad visit us for a week this month. We shopped, visited, played games, took lots of Baskin Robbins breaks and had a wonderful time together. 
This is the first year EVER that we didn't buy a real tree. I wasn't too sure that I would like having an artificial tree, but it didn't take me long to appreciate it. It came with lights already attached, so the setup was quick and easy. No more sweeping up millions of fallen needles and no more wading through presents to water the tree. It was also great having the tree still look nice on Christmas day.
