I didn't adopt a cute bunch of girls!  Boone and I had a date tonight.  We went to the Mall to watch the winter music concert for his school.  He absolutely loves the "Dragon Jam" marimba band and can't wait to be in 4th grade so he can join.  It was pretty fun and these kids are fantastic.  We also watched the orchestra and chorus but...that wasn't the highlight for us!

Time for the tree unveiling.  Now it might take a week or more to add lights and ornaments but it is standing!  We are going fake this year to save a little money.  Not enough time to head to the mountains to find our own, maybe next year.  The moon was absolutely amazing tonight!
