Well, we are keeping busy! We had Aunt Jojo and Uncle Bradley in town all weekend which was lots of fun! Matthew, Jo, Bradley and I traveled on Saturday morning down to the tiny town of Santuck which is best known for its massive (and i mean MASSIVE) flea market/arts and crafts fair/yard sale extravaganza. We met my Mom and Timothy there and had a good time looking around - we even found a bargain! A bow and arrow that Matthew simply could not live without for the low, low price of $1. :) It is amazingly still intact as I type and Matthew dances around the house singing the song from Peter Pan, "we're following the leader, the leader, the leader..." Later Saturday we watched Timothy and the rest of his Boy Scout troop participate in the Eclectic Christmas Parade, which boasted 2 Santas - one was fake, Matthew tells me. Sunday was super busy with holiday plans. I can barely believe December is already here.
Tonight my tiny Birmingham Children's Choir Training Singers had their holiday concert. They are just about the cutest things you have ever seen. After dealing with "too cool" middle schoolers all day, I just forget how tiny first graders can be. So it is so fun to play with these babies once a week! But, once a week is quite enough for me - I'm definitely not an elementary teacher at heart! They, along with their older Concert Choir counterparts, caroled at the historic Alabama Theater last week and sang at the Jr. League Market a couple weekends ago. You can see photos of those events here: http://www.slide.com/r/BO9PpYCLxD80_FqIJ50O8dzowwbAsaBz?previous_view=lt_embedded_url

Andy had a Samford basketball game tonight - the girl's team is looking very good this year. They open conference play tonight with an in-state rival, so Andy will come in any minute berating me for not coming by after my concert, I'm sure. (sorry, honey - my feet were tired!)
This is my last week of graduate class for this semester so I am taking some time to breathe this week! We open To Kill A Mockingbird on Wednesday of next week, so not too much time, but a little. :)
I hope you guys can all relax and take time to enjoy each other. We love you all.

And we lost. It's all your fault.
Hey Ms.Parrish it's Katherine just letting you know the musical at Shades Cahaba is at 7 tonight.
Thanks Katherine, I hate i'm not going to make it over there for that, but I hope you guys are taking good notes and let me know all about it tomorrow! We're decorating Matthew's "grandmama's" Christmas tree tonight (I had forgotten about that - sorry!) so we will miss Christmas Round the World, but I know it will be great! See you tomorrow. - Mrs. P
