Shelby Community Concert

This Saturday is our annual Community Christmas Concert. My friend Melanie started this concert three years ago, the first year Aaron and I lived in Shelby. There is an article all about it in this month's Ensign. Aaron's parents were here for the first concert. Eleanor was about a month old and we were blessing her the same weekend as the concert, so it worked out that Ma'am and Papa got to come and hear me sing too. I am excited for my song this year, it is so upbeat and fun to sing and also has some fantastic high notes. And it is a good thing that it is a fast tempo. With only 5 weeks to go in this pregnancy there is no way I could sing anything that required a lot of note holding.
Anyway, check out the article in the Ensign. Melanie has done great things here.

Our sweet little Eleanor turned 2 on the 2nd. We didn't do a birthday cake for her this year. We already had so much candy and stuff from Halloween and I just didn't want to add a cake to my waistline too. :) So, instead we had birthday pancakes like we did for Penelope. Yep, the candles still melted in the pancakes even though I was sure they would be cool enough this time. Eleanor had a lot of fun blowing out the candles and opening gifts, but Penelope may have had even more fun watching.

And here is a random picture of Penelope doing her "crazy eyes" with the yucky teeth my friend LaDonna supplied us with. I love little Eleanor in the background, who was not quite able to get those teeth all of the way in her mouth. I love my girls.
