Friday night was the 392nd Christmas Party. Up until the last minute, Shannon was voted to wear the sugarplum fairy costume. Luckily, he got out of it and the squadron DO, Lt.Col. Sauls ended up sitting pretty Friday night. Shannon was very pleased! We had a good dinner, good company, and a yummy dessert table. A date with my husband is always a great time!
Sydney and Ben had their Christmas piano recital Saturday morning at a local nursing home. The residents filled the room in their wheelchairs and beds. They were all so delighted to hear the lovely Christmas music, played by the most amazing kids! The staff and the residents sang along and swayed to the music. The joy in their faces was overwhelming. At the end of the recital, the children wished Merry Christmas to everyone while handing out Christmas cards around the room.
Saturday afternoon we drove to Buellton to visit an archery shop. Ben had been wanting his very own bow since April when he went to archery camp. The instructor said Ben was a natural and was very impressed with his accuracy. This, after he questioned Ben would even be abe to pull the bow back!
Ben saved all of his birthday money and some allowance and had finally saved enough. He was able to buy the bow and a dozen arrows with all the accessories. Thank you grandmas and grandpas! He had to try a couple out in the shop by shooting in the indoor range. He was ecstatic and can't wait to go shoot with dad soon!
