12 Days of Christmas....

starting this past weekend: 

♪♪♪♪  5 High school basketball games, 4 trips to town, 3 (or more) treats to make, 2 Christmas concerts/plays, 1 class party, 1 middle school basketball tournament....and a partridge in a pear tree. ♪♪♪♪

I made a double batch of gingersnap cookies (with egg replacement--for Callum) on Monday. And by Tuesday afternoon, they were all gone.  True, I took about 2 dozen to the concert on Monday.

(I made 4 batches of rice crispy treats for the basketball game on friday--for concessions & will need to make brownies & a salad for the Jr/Sr High school lunch on Thursday). Plus I want to make some yummy treats--gingerbread & sugar cookies, peppermint bark & kettle corn)

Here is Zane playing the trumpet (tooting his own horn).

Brienna looked beautiful while singing in the choir.

Back row, left to right: Mariah, Brienna, Brett, Lindsay

Front row, L-R:  Jennifer, Madeline & Jennifer 

Brienna playing in the band

Both Brienna & Zane did a wonderful job.  Zane is a natural on the trumpet, & Brienna has a beautiful, pure voice.  She sang "O Holy Night" for her solo.

Zane (w/the orange t-shirt) is at the middle school basketball game in Lima, Montana.  It was a close & exciting game clear to the end, when we won 25-24.

Ethan played after the middle school (middle, #20)

Their game was a "boring", run-away game:  64-10.  If I remember right, Ethan scored 4 or 6 points.  He was one of the captains & started.  Even though it wasn't close at all, Ethan played a great game.
