the fresh beat band!

abram finally got to enjoy one of his christmas presents from santa last night! our seats were SO close to the stage...he sat in amazement almost the entire time. i actually enjoyed this concert...very entertaining and their songs are cute & catchy. anything musical, involving instruments and a stage, make this little boy happy and i was thrilled to share his special night out with him.

augustus

this year, the fourth graders rehearsed very hard to perform the willy wonka kids production at eli's school. they did a fabulous job and our own augustus gloop even had a german accent! these pictures are not good because it was so dark, but he made a pretty cute, chubby german boy :)

military ball

getting all fancied up for our first military ball. lots of pressure to do things the right way, ie. don't touch your chair or sit down before the president & guest of honor sits down, toast appropriately, introduce yourself to the president without cocktails in hand, etc. it was a good time though & gave us another date night!
