A lovely evening

Tonight was a beautiful evening. We just returned from a lovely evening at an old friend's house. She had a small gathering and we so enjoyed getting to visit with her and several other friends, even if for only a brief time. The highlight of our evening was a trip to the mall. Not to shop (yikes!) but to see our daughter in her Christmas dance recital. JC began her ballet classes in September, and after several soccer and baseball seasons dance is a new experience for us. She and one other young lady danced to "Oh Holy Night". I'm biased, but it was beautiful and it brought tears to my eyes. It was one of those really proud parent moments and I felt so blessed to have it.
