Lots of happenings

So instead of doing several blogs with only a couple of pictures each, I'm doing one blog with many pictures. I apologize for taking so long to get this done. I know everyone was just on pins and needles waiting for me to update my blog. (Haha..not really!) So here we go! A couple of months ago, Kalie and a few of her friends auditioned to be in their school talent show. They made it, which they were really excited about! They played on their instruments Adele's Rolling in the Deep. They did an awesome job. Way to go Kalie!! In February John went on a business trip to San Francisco. While he was out there, he got to do an Alcatraz night tour. He said it was really cool. As you all know, in July John made partner. So he went into a bigger office, and then got to pick out his own furniture. I think he picked pretty well! Hard to believe, but I went back and never posted about Christmas, the kids birthdays, or anything. So, here's a picture of us when "Santa" came by to hand out the first presents of the night before going back on his sleigh to get all the kids after they go to bed. This has become such an awesome tradition and we all love it!! Back in December, Macy made Student of the Month at school. She's such a good kid!! Here's Kalie at her "Winter Band Concert." Too bad they just can't call it what it is. The Christmas Band Concert. Anyway, she's doing awesome playing her flute. She's gotten really good. These are some of my favorite pictures. My little Macy getting baptized. She was so excited to wear this beautiful dress, and to get baptized by her dad. It was a wonderful occasion and we had lots of family here. Here's a picture of my Mace on her 8th birthday. For Thanksgiving we went down to Virginia to be with all the family. John's mom put on her beautiful Colonial Williamsburg dress as she cooked up our wonderful meal! Here's my Hannah on her 5th birthday. For Johnny's 3rd birthday, he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese's. So that's what we did! And my beautiful Kalie on her 12th birthday. Seriously cannot believe I have a daughter who's in Young Women's at church. I'm not even old enough for that, so, there must be a mistake somehwhere!! :)
