Happy Holidays 2012

In January it's so nice

To feel the sun instead of ice

A Cali trip did suffice

Sipping once, sipping twice

Sipping chicken soup with ice

 In February we were surprised

To see hearts and eggs before our eyes

Daddy-made, I tell no lies

Yummy once, yummy twice

 Yummy chicken soup with rice

In March, the blossoms all did bloom

To dispel the last of winter's gloom

And free us from that season's tomb

Lovely once, lovely twice

Lovely chicken soup with rice

In April, Audrey went to sea,

Or river as the case may be

A living classroom jubilee

Sailing once, sailing twice,

Sailing chicken soup with rice

In May, our Daddy did compete,

In his first run/swim/biking meet

Swift of stroke and fleet of feet

Running once, biking twice

Swimming chicken soup with rice 

In June to mountains we did take

To swim and hike and memories make

And eat some apple doughnut cake

Shenan-once Doah-twice

Blue Ridge chicken soup with rice 

In July there's "Stories and Art"

At National Gallery we take part

French artistry we take to heart

Drawing once, drawing twice

Painting chicken soup with rice

In August to Utah we did flee

To see lots of our dear family

And party with our family tree

Reunion once, reunion twice

Reunion chicken soup with rice

In September it was their fate

To learn to move upon ice skates

For which the girls could hardly wait

Skating once, skating twice

Skating chicken soup with rice

 

In October, we did find

That Paul Revere was on our mind

The Freedom Trail to wend and wind

Road trip once, road trip twice

Road trip chicken soup with rice

In November comes the Fall

 With vibrant colors, loved by all

and leaves to jump and throw and haul

Leaf fight once, leaf fight twice, 

Leaf fight chicken soup with rice  

 

,

In December we reflect

On friends and family we neglect

With whom we wish to reconnect

Merry once, Christmas twice

Best Wishes chicken soup with rice!
