Kid's Choir Concert

The boys had a super opportunity to sing

in a kid's choir that Summer put together at church!

They did a Christmas concert and I think

will practice and give concerts at other

times of the year as well!

I was surprised and pleased by their interest,

having enjoyed singing in church and

school choirs myself.

Here are Lauren and Russ who

accompanied them on their guitars!

It was a great concert!

The kids were aged seven through Junior High!

Summer's mom-in-law volunteered to make

the choir robes for them! So cute!

Looking down from the sound booth where

I was video taping.


Great singing guys and you look cute, ..uh,
I mean,.... handsome! as well.


The whole choir!
They practiced very seriously for quite
a few Saturdays before the performance.

Super job everyone!

Gingerbread Men

Decorating the Gingerbread men was a

great hit at our house this week!

Here we are whipping up the icing that

was the "glue" used to keep all

the candy on!

Everyone loves to lick the beaters!

Some of these got a big dose of leftover

icing at the end! (They started out as

football players!)

Christmas is coming!

This is a picture of the boys with Grandpa.

It was taken last year at Thanksgiving.

I am including it here because we had a nice

visit with Grandpa, last year and this year

over Thanksgiving. This year we left the

camera at home by accident! So...no pictures

from Thanksgiving 2009...so sad!

The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to

a tree farm to cut down a Christmas Tree!

Great job cutting down that tree, Daddy!

Decorating the tree!

Crazy faces!

Crazy Josh!

Crazy Alex!
