This weekend has been a busy one!
Friday night I had my piano recital for my students. It went really well I think. The students did a good job and the parents seemed to like it. I do a sing-a-long recital. The students have to pick a holiday song with words, and they also learn to conduct. Then the parents have to sing while the students accompany and conduct the songs.
Then Saturday we had our ward Christmas party. I had to make 2 dozen rolls. I ended up making a batch of cinnamon rolls and a batch of orange rolls. The kicker, we were the last table to get food so we didn't even get any rolls! We got some Sunday morning but I will tell you about that later. I also had to play some background music. I got a call Wednesday afternoon from the activity chair, she asked if I could pick 2 songs to play as background music while people ate. She said she wanted simple songs, hymns or primary songs. So I chose Picture a Christmas and a medley of all 3 Away in a Mangers. I get there and play my songs first, then the other two women go. They had elaberate songs, that were hard! Didn't I look dumb! I could of done that if I had known, or had the time. Oh well. Kyle got to see Santa though. This was the first year he did not freak out at the site of him. Henry and I have been trying to hype up Santa. We also have been "training" him to tell Santa what he wants, after all if Santa doesn't know what you want, he won't bring you a present! Kyle was the second in line. We walked up to Santa and Kyle started saying "firetruck!" We put him on Santa's lap and Kyle said "firetruck". After talking with Santa and getting pictures taken, he got "Snowman Soup". He didn't understand why he didn't get his firetruck. He wasn't happy about it for a while. We explained Santa will bring him presents in two weeks. He was happy after that.
After the ward party we took Dad home. On the way home we stopped at a muddy parking lot. You see, earlier in the week we had our truck lifted (more of a leveling lift) and had bigger tires put on. Kyle loves to "go 'round", and he wanted to show Papa "go 'round". So we did. Kyle just laughs and laughs and keeps saying "more go 'round!" He is his Dad's boy!
After we dropped Dad off we went to the Train Museum for the Santa Claus Express. We rode the train and we were going to see Santa, again. The line was long for Santa though and the wind was blowing and a strom was moving in so we left.

Then Sunday we celebrated Santa Lucia Day. It is a holiday in Sweden, and being of Swedish decent we try to celebrate it. It is really celebrated Dec. 13th but we had a busy Saturday. We had Mom, Dad, and Brian over for a brunch. We had gingerbread men (a Swedish Tradition), Orange Rolls (Saffron Buns are nasty!), and Hot Cocoa (we don't drink coffee). It was good!
