House for Sale

Our old house went up for sale.


They didn't actually stage the house. It was just digitally staged so it is actually empty.

All the walls were painted white and it is very bright in there.


And they painted the door black. I like the red much better.

Kenzie's stepping stone is still in the bark outside of the house.

Piano Recital

The kids' piano recital was last week. They all did great and were the stars of the night!

My parents came too and I tried to get them to come in the picture too, but they didn't want to so it's just us.

Snowflakes

The Crabtree's Christmas for Ian activity one Sunday was to make snowflakes. Ash did all the prep work and then rolled, taped, and stapled the papers to make these really cool snowflakes!

Elf The Musical

We went to see Elf The Musical at the 5th Avenue Theater. It was so much fun and we all loved it! Coleman kept saying it was so much better and funnier than the movie. It turns out he doesn't love the movie that much. But the musical was great!

Piano Playing Kenzie

Kenzie has been playing the piano a lot lately. She's been playing her Christmas recital songs, but also other songs. It's so fun to hear her play!

Holiday Orchestra Concert

Jordan had his holiday orchestra concert. He did great and the whole orchestra sounded great too!


He was in the last 2 orchestras. The first one was the freshman one and the second meets before school. 

Forgotten Children's Fund

Kenzie, Coleman, Jordan, and I wrapped presents at the Forgotten Children's Fund last week. We had a lot of fun and finished really quickly. Unless some more time slots open up, it was probably the only time we'll be able to wrap this year.
