Today was spent decorating the house for Christmas. As my mother and I were putting up the Christmas tree, my brother (who was "supervising") suddenly yelled, "LOOK! It's snowing!" Can you ask for a more perfect day? Decorating the house while it's snowing? How awesome! When it was time for a break, I ran outside and took some photos to share with you.









Back inside, I finally finished decorating the tree. It looks a bit haphazard because I had to use three different varieties of lights, but at this point I don't care anymore! I love to hang the Christmas ornaments. I love the history of the ones that have been passed down. I love the new ones that create new memories. Here are my current favorites.

Two Christmases ago, Point of Grace and guest Scott Krippayne came to the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore for the Winter Wonderland Tour.  It was a big affair and felt much like an old TV Christmas special: gorgeous set, Christmas feeling, and fantastic music.  This year, they were back with a stripped down version.  Much can happen in two years.  In 2007, Scott Krippayne wrote "This Is My Now," selected by American Idol to be sung by Jordan Sparks and Blake Lewis on the finale episode of American Idol.  Heather Payne, longtime member of Point of Grace, had her 4th child and decided to retire.  This leaves us with Shelley, Denise, and Leigh, who are seeing a resurgence of Point of Grace thanks to their song, "How You Live."  It's taken off at country radio (even though they are not a country trio and don't sound it) and opening doors they've never gone through.  This concert was an opportunity to celebrate Christmas, play some #1 hits from their 17 years, and get acquainted with new fans.
