Sela's Birthday Weekend

Sela's 7th Birthday arrived with a bang. We had a great weekend full of anticipation and celebration. Friday night Sela performed with the Hollywood Hill Primary Choir at the Woodinville Light Festival. They sang a beautiful Christmas song, a lively Hanukkah song, a lovely Winter Solstice song, and a funny song about Christmas socks...clearly the children's favorite. They joined the Senior choir for Silent Night.






Then we met Mrs. CLaus and walked around looking at lights and trying to find Santa. We finally found him in the Retirement home where lots of festivities were taking place. Zig and I both thought it was such a great idea to have Santa in the Retirement Home. All the residents were mingling with people from the community which brought the excitement of Christmas to them. I loved that aspect of the night. We rode the little train back to the car and headed home.

Sela's birthday party was Saturday. We met for icecream at Coldstone with 8 of Sela's friends and then walked over to see the movie, Enchanted. I have to say I was really surprised, it was such a fun movie! I know Zig enjoyed it as well. Rollin ran all over the theater, but that was to be expected. We filled little purses with movie snacks for everyone which was fun for the girls. This was definitely the easiest birthday party yet, and I think it might be Sela's favorite.
















Sunday it snowed again and since we live on a hill with only steep roads getting off of it, we missed church. Last week it was cancelled and I'm not sure about today. It looked scary though once we got on the road so we came back home and Zig taught a little Christmas lesson to the girls while Rollin napped. The girls got mad at me for taking pictures during "church" but I couldn't help it with Nina acting as Mary again. She takes her role so seriously.
