Every year since we've been in San Antonio, I have played in Handel's Messiah the first weekend of December. It is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season.
This is what the kids looked like as they headed to our ward Halloween party.
I finished sewing the Harry Potter robes the next day (Halloween) and five minutes later, the boys were out the door trick-or-treating. (Sorry, this picture is really low quality, but you can get the drift.)
