Crazy Life, Crazy Wife...

My sister-in-law has repeated this quote often to me: "Happy Wife, Happy Life". In short meaning that if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! True, how true. We have had a crazy month with something to do, somewhere to be just about everyday. Concerts, performances, class trips, class projects, scouts, church, parties, company, shopping, wrapping, more shopping, more wrapping...the list could go on all night. I have a new quote for myself: "Crazy life, Crazy Wife". My life is crazy, and I'm on my way to the looney bin....Here's a re-cap of our crazy life in just a few pictures....

Abby and her friend Chelsea played a violin duet of 'Up on the Housetop' at our ward party. They did a great job.

Our ward party, a week ago. Abby played Mary in the Nativity scene. Our cute neighbor kids were wisemen and an angel. Someone took alot of time and effort into making it so sweet and cute. They all looked adorable.

The kids had a Christmas Sing at the school on Thursday. We had good seats, but not a good zoom lens on the camera...this is Jake's class singing 'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree'. Don't they look cool?

Today, December 20, we were invited to attend a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet in SLC. Our niece, Kristen, had a small role and we were happy to have a great excuse to see the show. It was at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake and quite a fancy occasion. We bought the tickets several months ago and were glad we did....they weren't cheap and I was glad to have already paid for them before Christmas was so tight! We started the day by meeting Allison and Kaela to have the girls hair, nails and make-up done at the beauty college. They were in heaven.

Emily putting the finishing touches on her hair and makeup. She had a guy do her hair and nails and she was a bit nervous about the whole thing. She only let me leave her side for a minute! Emily, Abby and Kaela posing in front of their "wheels" to the theatre. Someone on Allison's side of the family had a hookup for a limo ride to lunch and the theatre. I, on the other hand, had to travel by mini-van. The girls were in heaven... Marquee outside Capitol Theatre...Ballet West's 'The Nutcraker'
