The Christmas play. A new violin. My birthday. A new year coming. Christmas baking. Those are our December happenings this year. Not including regular school and church. We had our annual Christmas play at church Monday evening. This year it was about Corrie Ten Boom. I think it went well. There were a few 'minor' mistakes, but hey, we only had 5 practices. For so few practices we did quite well! It is only 2 days till Christmas! Today we made cookies and frosted them. It kept the kids happy and busy. My birthdya was on the 17th, and on the 18th my parents took me to Lexington. We went to visit a friend who has a violin repare shop. They surprised me with a new vioin! Talk about a surprise! I am blessed with my parents who love God and care about me and siblings, and raise us to serve God.  I can hardly believe a whole year has passed by So much has happened, yet so little has happened. I will post some pictures now. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

'Your love nothing compares to it. And I, I'm still so desperate. I know that any fool can love you. You give your love so freely. You know now what I think of you. 'cause now the fool is me. I believe, I'm glad the fool is me. I believe I'm glad the fool is me.'
