Last night we hosted a Christmas party with a few friends. Today we had the family over for the day as has been the Christmas tradition. We started with a treasure hunt for the kids, they had to solve puzzles and decode clues as they hunted for their treasure chests.
Trip Log
December 21, 2012
Today is the first day of Winter and the world didn't end as predicted so I guess I had better do some Christmas shopping since my primary plan fell through. Alesa, always the optimist, says the day isn't over. We went over to Mike's this morning to attend the Overlook Winter Concert at 9:30.

Spent the last few days building a headboard for our bed since we couldn't find the one we wanted. Installed it today and will wait for it to 'cure' before we paint it black. Alesa has finished Christmas shopping so we are settling in for a long winter's nap.

Today we drove up to Bethlehem, Pa., Christmas City. It is one of the many options for a summer home once we sell the house. The historic city was all decorated and crowded with people and many craft vendors set up in temporary sheds on the street and in the parks.

Tonight was Bailey's turn. He is a drummer in the school band and tonight was their Winter Concert and they played very well. On another note, Annika donated her long hair to 'Locks of Love' today.

Tonight we went down to Jeff's then over to Bridget's Concert. She is in the 4th grade chorus and today was their Winter Concert. They, she especially, did a very good job and she even got to introduce the last song, Jingle Bell Rock. Tomorrow night is Bailey's concert.

Today we took the truck to Mike's to take over a last few items. While there the girls baked cupcakes and Nana made gooey cookies (no-bake). After testing the goodies we all went to a local tree farm for their Christmas tree.

Yesterday we bought Alesa an iPad as an early Christmas present. I also bought a Bluetooth dongle for the laptop so we have been kept busy learning the iPad and getting the iPad, computer, Android phone and car all talking to each other.
