Ever since I was in elementary school, I performed at a Christmas concert. It was always exciting because most of the time it was the first performance of the year and they were always fun songs. High school was more of a memory to me than the others because there was some weeks where we would have 4 performances in a week during the holidays. We would sing at company Christmas parties, assisted living homes, elementary school, the airports tree lighting ceremony, and many more. It was always a fun time. Your choir friends during that time are more like family because everything you do is with them. It was a lot of fun. I miss singing so bad!! I couldn't find my elementary school pictures but this is middle school and my friend might kill me if she sees this. I will vouch for her and tell you she looks nothing like this anymore.
This was high school. After the tree lighting ceremony at the airport every year we would go to Olive Garden for lunch. Another thing I loved about choir is I missed a lot of school in the month of December but it was all excused.
Unfortunately I was at work while all the snow was falling. I saw a good amount a work but of course I had no camera so this was one of my favorite pictures my mom took. I love how you can see the actual snowflakes. It is still so crazy to me that, that much snow actually fell in one day, in Vegas. Also the schools closing...who would have thought?? a snow day in Vegas?? I had to go to work today still but I enjoyed every minute of the snow though.
This was a Christmas picture that my mom and aunt had put together for my grandparents for Christmas. We happen to get these porcelain dolls that had dresses to match ours so we wanted them in the picture too of course. Check out my cousin Skeeter's tie (he is on the right)...it's Barney. How fast time flies?? 
This was our family's first Christmas card. This is the only one that was saved. Out of all the times I have seen this picture, tonight was the first night I realized it had a note on the back. It reads: 3 months old Awburn, Mommy and Daddy love you very very much. Love, Daddy. 12.21.87. I just love reading notes like that. It totally made my day.
When I was younger all of us girls got matching PJ's for Christmas morning. We would open them up the night before. Since we have gotten older we don't do it any more. I think we should though. Even just matching PJ pants would be fun.
