Orangeburg Civic Ballet's Nutcracker

This weekend, my oldest daughter, Isabella, participated in the Nutcracker, put on by the Orangeburg Civic Ballet. The OCB is under the very capable direction of Mrs. Tamalyn Blackman and was a beautiful production. Although we're pretty tired from all the rehearsals and late nights, it was worth it all to see Isabella doing what she loves. Here's Isabella with "Miss" Tamalyn.

I love Christmas!

I love Christmas! It's my very favorite time of the year. This picture was taken last Saturday at our homeschool choir performance. With some forethought, I would have dressed Emma in something Christmasy, but she was wearing pink (that is a variation of red, isn't it???), covered up by her aqua blue jacket and let's not forget that paci (we never leave home without it!). Our good friend and great photographer, Nikki, took this picture! The girls are just beautiful in it and I'm so blessed to have them! They are my joy in life next to having Jesus as my Savior!

The choir performance went well. All the children sang their little hearts out. It was a great day!
