Just so y'all realize we, too, will get snow here... The trace we got a week ago pales in comparison to the amount that my sister Lisa got in western Wisconsin, and the "cold" that has come this week (low of 21 degrees ABOVE zero last night) is not particularly impressive, but it's winter for Arkansas! We've been extra busy for the holidays, with the kids attending multiple birthday parties. The next couple pictures are from one of these parties, which had a race car theme (the one grandfather is into drag racing). Below, Kenny and Beth peddle around some cool "cars":
The children also got to sit in grandad's racecar (a heavily modified Camaro):
Last Saturday night, we had a different treat--we went to a concert on the UAM campus. It was a Christmas program given by a men's choir out of Little Rock, the River City Men's Choir. Most interestingly, my boss, Dr. Jim Guldin, is a bass singer with this choir. Here he is hamming it up after the concert:
The choir did a fantastic job, and sang for about an hour. The kids seemed to enjoy it, although it was not quite the Christmas song set they're used to hearing. Tonight's big fun was decorating Christmas cookies--Beth was more enthusiastic than the rest of us:
I'm keeping this posting brief, because we'll see many of you soon, and we'll be taking plenty of pictures for that. Until then, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
