Our travel plans this holiday season brought on the need for our family to celebrate Christmas a few days early. I think once you see what our big gift was for this year, you’ll understand why transporting gifts on the road was not a good option…

You remember how I shared that three of our boys are taking music lessons this year – one piano, one guitar, and one drums. A drum set (which we got for a fantastic deal online) was the perfect gift for our “band of boys.” Out came the guitar, synthesizer, and microphone to join the drums – and it’s been one very loud jam session ever since.

This has been incredibly fun to experience. It has also been incredibly…loud. We expected nothing less, but WOW. Today’s project has been to clean out and rearrange our upstairs “game room” so that we can transfer all instruments far away from mom’s office. :)

We’ve had some great down time and oodles of fun with our new instrument and board games. Now, we’re working to get ready for a huge road trip. Praise God for all the fun and family time that Christmas brings!
