December 17th Kantor and Mary were kind enough to include us in their annual tradition of decorating gingerbread cookies. Fun and delicious!
Piano Recital #2
December 25th, 2018 by Aubri
On December 16th the big girls played their piano recital. This year was different for us as the recital was held at the Mormon Trail Center here in Omaha instead of at our church. I’ve been wanting to head down there for a couple years now to see the displays of Gingerbread they put out during their Gingerbread Festival.
I was sad to have to miss that and miss the girls’ performances this year. There was just too much scheduled at the same time, I was hosting a baby shower during. So while I had 4 babies Phil took 4 with him. Thankfully he was able to get some video snippets for me.
A Winter Baby Shower
December 25th, 2018 by Aubri
This Summer our congregation called a young man to fill the role of Kantor for our church. He accepted that call and since then I have enjoyed getting to know his lovely wife. They are awaiting the birth of their 3rd child due this month so another kind lady in our congregation and I put together a diaper shower for them. We had fun with the Wintery inspiration of a Winter baby shower. We kept it simple with a delicious hot chocolate bar and some snacks.
Our Church Christmas Program
December 25th, 2018 by Aubri
On December 15th the children of our church held their Christmas program, “The Trees of Christmas.” This year our 4 bigs had readings and Esther played in the hand bell sextet. I was hoping Martha would participate as she had done well in all of the rehearsals but last minute she decided it was too much for her.
I still can’t get over how quickly my 3 bigs have become the “big kids” in these programs. How it was not long ago they were the tinies up front or the ones cowering in the pew with Mama…Gerhardt. They’ve grown so much!
