The first weekend of December was also the first snowfall of the season. We were kept busy with a visit to South Orange, NJ to visit Tina's cousins 
and aunt. One of Tina's cousins was visiting from Columbus, OH and her aunt was in from Greenville, SC. It was a great afternoon of visiting and having the kids play together. It's great to see everyone as well as having the children play together. It made for a great day.

n Sunday, Evan participated in Lansdale's Merry Tuba Christmas. Essentially all the tuba and baritone players get together to play Christmas carols at Railroad Station Park next to the Christmas tree. Since it snowed the day before, there was a gentle coating on the ground which added to the festive holiday cheer. Hot chocolate and Philly pretzels were on hand for whoever wanted them. The concert was about 45 minutes and there were about 65 tuba / baritone players. This was Evan's first year playing. Since he got the music about an hour before, he struggled with a lot of the songs. His trombone teacher recommended he participate and assured him that it will be much easier next year. Hopefully this will become a tradition for him to play in the years to come. Ironically I took the kids to a Tuba Christmas concert about 5 years earlier. Little did I know Evan would be playing along one day. Funny how things transpire over time.
