December....Rewind

The first 2 weeks of December were a bit of a blur in our house. Lee was away for work and Jacob spent much of his time sick. He tried out for a musical in Sackets Harbor at the Playhouse and was spent hours practing his part of an Elfette. There were five shows but unfortunately, germs got the best of Jacob. He was still able to do 2 shows, the first and the last, and he was perfect in each of them! I was so proud of him! Nana and Papa even got a chance to see him perform! After that, we had one more week of sickness and then we were on the road to recovery. Lee was coming home and we were in the Christmas spirit. We decorated the house, we shopped, we made cookies and a gingerbread house and we got ready for the Man in the Suit. We drove home to PA to spend Christmas with the Smith clan and had a wonderful holiday with family. A few drinks, a birthday cake for me, delicious meals, lots of laughs and a little bit of singing mixed in (in the kitchen of course)!
