Busy Week!

We have such a busy week this week! Tomorrow is our ward Christmas party. As most of you know Jed is in the Mapleton Children's Community Choir and Elise is in a music class. They will be singing in their Christmas concert on Thursday this week. Jed is one of the youngest members of the choir. It is for children 7-12 year old. He had to audition for a spot and the teacher was quite impressed! Elise is in a music class to learn music theory through games and other fun activities. I wish I had something like that when I was a kid!

On Friday Jed and Elise have an awards assembly at school. Both of them will be receiving awards. Jed's award is for being Scholar of the Month. Elise's award is for Special Recognition (I am not sure what that means). We are proud of them both! We also have to go a second time to the school for a program where Jed is a missionary in the 12 Days of Christmas Hawaiian Style.

Of course on Saturday it will be Elise's 6th birthday and we are having a party!! She is so excited. Preparations are slowly coming together for that! I would recommend that you do not have a baby so close to Christmas. It is not easy getting a birthday party done and worry about all the Christmas gifts and activities. That being said we are sure glad she is ours and can't believe she will be 6 years old already!

I am sure I will have pictures to share of some activity this week. I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season!
