Yesterday we went to a Singing Christmas Tree program at a nearby church. I've heard about these for years and have always wanted to go. I thought this year would be the perfect opportunity - I wanted to see how Addison and Fischer reacted to all the music and lights!

On the way, Scott and I took bets on how long we would be able to sit and watch before we'd have to leave. He said 20 minutes, I said 45. We were both wrong, as they lasted an entire hour! They really liked the lights and upbeat music. It was when the program turned a little more serious and subdued that they made it clear they were ready to go. We didn't want to ruin everyone else's experience, so we left. We strategically sat at the back near a door just incase. :) I was proud of them though and know that at their age, we can't expect them to sit still much longer than that.

Not that they really "sat still" during the program. They stood up, sat down, clapped, danced and secretly ate cookies. :) Addison was also quite vocal in parts, saying "yay!" "nose! beep beep!" and "pee pee." These things, of course, seemed to happen when it got quiet in the church. You just never know what will come out of their little mouths!

I wish I had a picture because we were all dressed in red and/or green, and we were quite festive looking. Oh well... next time!

In other news, the well at our new house is finished. So, in the very least, we'll have water!! When they started digging, it wasn't clear how deep they'd have to go - a lot close to ours had to go 600 feet, which would have been quite costly for us! Good news though - they only had to go 160 feet, which was pretty much the best-case scenario for us. Woohoo! Next up:  the foundation!
