I took piano lessons for 6 years and every year we would have a Christmas recital. We would choose a song that we loved to play and then we would practice for a few months and then perform it. I always felt bad for my mom and dad because they had to listen to it every day for a 1/2 hour or so leading up to the recital and then by then they already heard it.

Day 9 of Christmas Memories
When we were little my mom signed up for this Disney ornament collection. We would receive ornaments through out the year in the mail and would add several ornaments to the tree at Christmas time. Now we have 20 some ornaments and these are a few of my favorites. Too many actually that they don't fit on our regular tree anymore. That is why we hang them from the banister.

Day 7 of Christmas Memories
Every year my family takes a trip to the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village. We have done it every year since it has opened. I love to see all the trees decorated by the different businesses. The rides and activities are usually fun. The racing slopes (the big slide with the potato sacks), the train, sledding on real snow, and merry go round (haven't done that one though since I was little). I love to look at the gingerbread houses that are made by the chefs at different casinos. But...a long with everything else it is getting really expensive to go though. We usually get tickets from my aunts work but they didn't get any this year so hopefully we will still get to go.

Day 6 of Christmas Memories
This is a countdown calendar that my Great Grandma Dee made for my Aunt LeAnn when she was little. Once we were born my aunt passed it to us. How it works: You untie a ribbon everyday starting with the bottom one December 1st and when you get to the snowman it's CHRISTMAS!! Since we are older now the daycare kids untie them during their circle time. I am kind of sad because now that LeAnn has kids we might have to give it back. Not that I still untie the bows but it is still a memory that is put on the wall every year and with out it our decor wouldn't be complete.
