New Year Weekend

I hope this weekend is the omen of our new year...because it was lots of fun! Busy, but fun! We had two birthday parties Saturday, and they were active ones, so the kids stayed tired! Saturday evening our friend Sara watched the kids while we went out with her parents, the Symons and enjoyed dinner and drinks (and a little guitar hero!). Sunday we were up early for the start of Sunday School, which I'm helping with now. After church and lunch we came home and then Geoff turned around and went back to help with Youth Group at church. Landon went to see Miss Beth and watch the Steelers win, and Claire and I went to Fayetteville to see the Wizard of Oz, the musical on stage! It was wonderful and I would highly recommend it to adults and older children alike. Even if it's not in your favorite movie list, this musical is an adaptation of the book and movie combined, and leaves you with a good feeling as it ends. Claire loved the production and completely clinged to every word said and sung. It's so neat to watch a child experience such a show...and then listen to her rendition of the whole thing when she tells her Daddy about it!
