Merry Christmas from the Banda family!

December always seems to be a flurry of school programs and concerts. It seems that we scarcely begin the month and then, wham, Christmas is here already. We got a good jump on the month with cookie making a while back. Everyone helped. We made over 1000 cookies in one weekend. Then we delivered about 30 plates of cookies. It is a tradition that we've had every year since Steve and I were married. We enjoy visiting many friends and relatives.

Matthew had his first band concert. He plays the saxophone this year. Allison is in choir and had her holiday concert. Josh also had a Christmas concert and was part of the Nativity scene at church. Right now, I am busy wrapping and finishing details for the big day coming up on Friday. Wishing you holiday cheer and much love, Deb
