Christmas 2012 Celebrations

We have some Christmas traditions that we look forward to every year.  One of those traditions is a Christmas party with a group of friends who we used to be in a small group with together.  Even though we're not in that small group anymore we've been friends for 8 or more years.  Here are pictures from that party which we hosted at our new house this year:




I don't know if this will be a new tradition or not, but this year we went to the Christmas tree lighting for the Town of Harrisburg. Our older niece's school choir was singing and she specifically invited us to come see her sing. Thankfully we were actually able to see her on the stage! It was cold, but we did enjoy getting to hear her school choir sing. We had a good time, but it doesn't compare to the Harrisburg 4th of July festivities so I'm not sure if we'll add this to our Christmas traditions. Here are a few pictures from the Harrisburg Christmas tree lighting:



My absolute favorite Christmas tradition is going to see the Behold the Lamb of God concert at our church. This was the 6th year that Chad & I have gone to see this concert and every year it's my favorite part of the Christmas season. This year my Mom was in NC for Christmas so she and Chad's Mom were able to come with us to the concert. They both LOVED it and were so glad that they could come with us. Here are some pictures for the Behold the Lamb of God concert this year:
