Years ago, Allan’s dad went to Albania. On his trip, he visited Germany to see some relatives.
Dad McGuire found this Santa candle at a Christmas bazaar and brought him home for us to enjoy.

Santa
Have you ever watched the cartoon, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”? Doesn’t Alan–my niece’s husband– look like the young Kris Kringle?

Mark came up with this great idea!

Christmas Concert New Horizons Band
Daddy plays french horn in the New Horizons Band. This weekend they had their traditional Christmas concert. It was fun listening to some traditional Christmas songs and hearing some new arrangements. The band did a very good job. I think it was the best concert they have done that I have been to.
Nutcracker
Today we went to see the Nutcracker at the Morris Performing Arts Center.  We were able to take my nephew David, and a friend, Evie, with us this year. It was a good show even though Adrian said “it was just like last year!”
After the show, we walked down the street and enjoyed a few decorations.
Then we went to the South Bend Chocolate Company Factory and had lunch. We tried caramelized molasses candy called Seafoam. Of course, we did not leave before we had picked out some candy to take home.
It was a wonderful day of school!
Birthday!
Today is my niece’s birthday. Happy birthday Genevieve!
Hide and Seek
Audrey came upstairs to ask if we had seen Megan. We realized that we had not for quite a while.
Following her downstairs, Audrey showed us Megan hiding in the closet. We “called” for her and “tried to find her”, but she refused to move or make any noise.
I am not sure how long she stayed hiding in the closet, but it was probably 20 minutes before she finally came out.
