everydayrevelries: December Favorites

"Farewell, old year; we walk no more together;

I catch the sweetness of thy latest sigh...

Here in the dim light of a grey December

We part in smiles, and yet we met in tears;

Watching thy chilly dawn, I well remember..."

-Sarah Doudney

Watching Jessica perform in a fun eclectic Christmas concert put on by the music department of Utah State.

Spencer's Christmas Fundraising Concert. We were up in the nose bleed section, thus the less than par photo.

Being invited to watch this cute family perform an array of lovely Christmas piano pieces.

Christmas at The Grand America.

Followed by Beethoven's 9th at Abravenal Hall. Heaven! Even Jonah enjoyed it.

Swedish Gingerbread dipped in hot chocolate pretty much defines Christmas at the Watson house.

This man labors all December making countless loaves of Finnish bread for family and neighbors. We love him for it!

Entertaining these cute college students.

After weeks of rehearsals, finally getting to see Sabrina and Spencer perform in Scrooge. It isn't Christmas without Dickens' timeless tale.

Spencer's junior high Christmas orchestra concert. The photographic creativity required by this mom when she gets stuck seated in the back is mind-boggling.

Sabrina's high school Christmas concert. When did this girl get so gorgeous?

Christmas birthdays!

Having this girl home from school sprawled out on the floor with her sketch pad again. Bad picture. Good moment.

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Morning!

This girl got lots of warm clothing. Though winter had not arrived in Logan when she left, it most certainly will be waiting for her when she goes back.
