"Twelve o'clock... time for bed!"
(Or go see our Christmas photos from later in the month)
Emily and Meghan kept themselves busy, and us entertained this month.
Emily was in several performances of the Nutcracker, appropriately enough as a "Party Girl" (cleanse your mind! - not a Paris Hilton for a new generation; a girl in a party scene). They did two performances at the Ukrainian Club of Webster (How far can one be from Lincoln Center? Think "Ukrainian Club of Webster"), a show at a school, and several appearances at area nursing homes. Very entertaining, and Emily learned a lot about ballet and being giving to others.

Curtain call
Meghan's school choir concert gave her an opportunity to shine too. No sign whatsoever of the pneumonia that had been plaguing her less than a week before! It was great to see her eyes sparkle again.
Holiday Romance
Feliz Navidad
On a day the kids had off from school, Dave gave them, and his own sanity, a break by taking them to see a huge exhibit of model trains. As their grandparents said, "You could tell that Mikey was focused on the trains and that Emily was focused on the camera!"
Mikey, in awe of all that lies before him
Checking to see if the train is coming
