Well, I'm still in May of 2011, but I'm making forward progress so that's all that matters, right? :)
My talented niece, Chloe', performed in her show choir's concert back in May. It was a fun show with singing & dancing...
She's in the middle with her arm up, working it. :)
(Say that title 5 times fast!)
In December, my nephew Cameron sang in his school's Christmas Concert. Although it was pouring rain that night, My Mom, Sister, Grandma, and I managed to join what seemed like half the city in the school gym for the holiday show. It was really cute & we had fun!

Back in November, my niece, Chloe' performed with her school's Show Choir. I unfortunately could not attend. My sister took these photos and said what a wonderful show it was and even teared up as Chloe' sang a solo. I really wish I hadn't missed it~especially because they sang "Masquerade" from Phantom of the Opera~one of my faves!
Chloe' is the farthest left~ singing "Johnny Angel"

I'm so glad that Sunday was so much fun. It almost made up for Saturday sucking so much. [but not quite]
I started the day off by going to church early to see Cameron in the children's program. He had a solo singing part & was very good, I must say. After that we munched (too many) cookies and waited for "big" church to start. It was a special day~the Choir's Christmas Cantata! I love it every year-it's so moving! My sister, Angela sings in the choir & they had worked so hard putting it together.
These pics are TERRIBLY blurry due to my camera's suckiness.

After church, I ran home to eat lunch & spend some time with my favorite little man while Wayne got my car working!
Oh yeah-for those who don't know--my stinkin car would not start last week! Luckily, I was able to borrow my parent's car to drive while Wayne worked on it. 
So anyway...Wayne got my car working just in time for me to drive it to Fayetteville to meet up with my best girly girls for a Christmas get-together. It was just my close friends Heather, Amber, Amanda & myself. We each brought food--and lots of it-& it was yummy. Then we went to a movie & saw some crazy one we hadn't heard of but sounded Christmasy called "Nothing Like the Holidays" [I think] Anyway, it had Debra Messing, Jon Leguizamo & lots of Puerto Ricans. It was funny & sad at some parts. There weren't many people in the theater at all & we were definitely the only white chicks. Hey-we had to represent our girl Debra. :)
Amber's gorgeous tree!
After the movie, we returned to Amber's for more food & a gift exchange. We drew names & Amanda received the gift I had brought. It was a foot spa. I have one & love it (although I need to use it more often.) I got the gift Heather brought & I love it. It was a bottle of Bath & Body Works lotion, a Ghiradelli dark chocolate bar (a BIG one) some cute painted blocks that spell "Friends" and the best part~a bottle of her fave Spumanti wine. Can't wait to break into that baby.

I finally made it home around 9:00 to find Mason was still up~ waiting to see me. I was so glad because I really missed him all day! Thankfully he had a late nap, so he wasn't grouchy waiting up. What a fun, busy day!
