caroling, caroling

I feel like I am growing up. I stepped out of my comfort zone and finally did something I have wanted to do for such a long time. It was cold with snow and fog all around, there were tons of kids, they were awesome and crazy, they were loud and full of excitement, and it was perfect. 

We went caroling.

I feel so much joy hearing Christmas songs, I love the cds my dad has given our family, but I think my favorite way to hear the carols is through children's voices. 

Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Frosty, Rudolph, Away in a Manger, and Silent Night were being sung really loud and beautifully throughout our neighborhood.

It was pretty close to a perfect December night.

Afterwards, we had to warm up with hot chocolate, treats, playing, and laughing.
