The girls had their first official swim meet as members of the Mon Valley YMCA swim team this week. It was an away meet at Sewickley, which is northwest of Pittsburgh. Both girls did an excellent job. Emily swam in four events while Jessica swam in three. She won the 100 meter freestyle for her age group. This photo is of Emily during the 100 meter backstroke, where she placed fourth for her age group.
On Friday evening, we had our annual ward Christmas party. One of the activities was a gingerbread decorating activity. This was our table's entry. The icing wasn't setting up fast enough, so most of the houses fell down, and were subsequently eaten.
Our table included one of the girls' friends, Lauren Larsen. Emily is trying to provide some structural support in this photo.
Outside the church, the girls hastily constructed a small snowman using what little snow we had left on the ground.
Santa came to the ward party. Madeline asked for a baby brother.
Emily asked to be Hermione Granger. If you don't know who that is, read more Harry Potter books.
I don't know what Jessica asked Santa for, it was probably a secret anyway.
I continued with tithing settlement this week, and concluded classes for the semester. Lots of grading and prepping for finals too!
