Hello Concert Season

Another holiday season is upon us. This year for Thanksgiving Celestra spent the day with her dad, Grandma Eiko, and a few others. Mine was spent with my mom and friend Tiffany. We enjoyed a nice casual day. But I will say this, Mom I DO NOT LIKE your oven. There, I have said it. I feel better and now I can move on.

Meg asks: "Where's my playmate Celestra?"

on Thanksgiving after her dad came and picked her up.

Now we move on into concert season. Celestra, once again this year, is singing in the Nutcracker chorus. Translation: mom has been running like crazy to get her to all of her rehearsals and performances. Whew tonight is the last night.

Now that the Nutcracker is at an end, you might think we get a bit of a break. Well I must disavow you of this notion. Celestra has four concerts and a caroling session in the next 2 weeks. Not to mention practices pretty much every other day. Thus the reason I have decided to label the next two weeks Concert Season.
