My thoughts on snow have changed since my last posting entitled, "Christmas Snow." A title made by someone who enjoys snow. What was I thinking! After our Christmas vacation snow, I was walking around quoting Robert Frost's poetry--"the woods are lovely, dark and deep" but that was about 10 snow storms ago (OK, a little bit of an exaggeration--but not much!). We have had snow coming out of our ears since my last post, which isn't necessarily a bad thing except for the fact we've had 3 snow days with school canceled, an early release and a late start, with another snow day baring down on us for tomorrow! Just toss in a MLK day of vacation AND two more snow days forecasted for next week! Aarrggh! No more poetry for me. Just cussing! I have cooked every kind of pancake known to man, and we have watched every movie we own. We are all bored and tired of being stuck home, and tired of playing in the snow but it does make for some great photos!

Christmas Snow
Christmas
Christmas arrived at the Elwood home again. I love Christmas and all of the excitement and build up to the big day. We had two families, the Singers and the Tibbitts, over for Christmas Eve, and then we spent Christmas Day alone as a family. Our first time ever! I must admit, spending Christmas Day in your jammies is not a bad gig!

This is such a lovely photo of me, but I couldn't resist the blue bathrobe shot for my family! I received this bathrobe for the Christmas when I had just turned 18, and it's still going strong after MANY years! My family has tried so hard to get rid of it--ridicule, harassment, bribery etc., but I can't do it! It's warm and soft and snuggly! Long live the blue bathrobe!

First Recital
Monday, December 20th, was a night of firsts for our family. Chiara, (my freakishly talented and beautiful daughter), had her first piano recital as a piano teacher, and Emory had her first piano recital as piano student! Chiara teaches both Alaina Tautkus and Claudia Victorino, both from our ward, and of course, Emmy. It was short and sweet and the girls did a fabulous job! Chiara had a short FHE lesson to go with it, and awards, music note charms, and flowers. We finished the night off with lots of treats. A good night was had by all! Way to go, Em and Sis!
