Wrapping up 2014

The last couple of weeks have been full of relaxation. We have been sleeping in, lounging around, and spending lots of time together. The picture above is Christmas Eve, and the picture below is Christmas morning.

After opening presents, we headed over to Ralph and Shirley's for dinner.

Shirley took all the ladies to the Willard Hotel in DC for tea. We had a lovely time!

Here is a picture of Madeline during her band concert earlier in December.

We finally made it to the Festival of Lights, after Christmas this year!

Madeline at the BB&T Classic

Madeline and her jump rope team performing at the Verizon Center in December. I tagged her in the beginning, but once she starts moving, the tag is in the wrong spot. Just click the box to remove it from the video.

More Winter Concert

Another song from the winter chorus concert. This was a neat one with the advanced orchestra students participating along with the singers.

Chorus Concert

Here is a video of Maddie singing in our school chorus. The chorus is made up of fifth and sixth grade students. Around 2:20, you can hear Maddie sing a couple lines with a small group.

Band Concert

Finally getting the videos off the camera! Here is Maddie playing her tuba during the winter concert. She is in advanced band this year.
