The A Team's Happenings: Christmas Excitement

Christmas Excitement

Another new thing we tried this year was attending the Charleston Chamber Orchestra Kids Concert on Wednesday. They played lots of sing along songs and told Christmas Stories. The presentation ended with cookies, punch and a balloon for all - we thought it was a great experience and hope to go again next year!

Alyssa made a special friend and had front row seats for the singing of Frosty the Snowman.

Alyssa kept getting in the washer - I called it Christmas excitement. I kept trying to get her out but Drew encouraged it - whatever! This is Wednesday and Christmas comes on Friday - this girl can hardly contain herself!

Alyssa took this one of Drew - the Andersons, always in their pajamas!
