Happy Birthday Mindy! Mindy has been telling people for weeks that she is ten years old. Now as of Tuesday it is official! She has definately been acting like a TWEEN!



Waiting in line to see Santa.
Mindy performed in choir on Friday night for the City wide Santa social, then on Saturday around town and the our church's night of nativity. She and Mackensey also sang Saturday night at the church. Mackensey did What child is this and Mindy sang Mary Did You know?
Mule drawn carriage rides, 20 degrees outside. Definately starting to feel like Christmas!
