Christmas 2010

Our Christmas was fun, but I am sad that we didn't get much snow over the holidays. I actually really like the snow, well only until March and then I'm ready for Spring. This year we didn't get much at all and it was a little disappointing. We love to sled, build snowmen, make forts, and have snowball fights but it didn't happen this year. We still managed to have a great Christmas. Alyssa got a Sony Reader from Santa and lots of make-up and books (her favorite). Tyler got a lot of Lego sets and a huge Slave One, Boba Fett's ship, from Santa. Brayden got a Nintendo DS from Santa, he has been begging and pleading for one. Ryan got an Imaginext Bat cave with an action figure Batman.

We stayed home and had a great turkey dinner and enjoyed the day together!

CMEA and Jazz Band

Alyssa had a wonderful experience with Band this year. One of the exciting things they did was that they played for the "Colorado Music Educators Association". Only two middle schools were selected to play and her school was one of them. They are one of the best middle school bands in Colorado and she loves playing trombone in the band, did I mention that she is first chair trombone! She also just recently competed in a Solo/Ensemble competition. She got a superior rating and did a great job!



She also loves Jazz Band. She has made some great friends and they get to travel to different places in Colorado and perform.
