Band Concert

This school year Chandler and Shelby are both in band. Their concert was last week. They did a great job! We were very proud!

Here are pictures of both of them.

Shelby is the most beautiful flautist at the school, and she’s learning so quickly. She loves it!

Chandler is in his 2nd year of band, and he plays the percussion. At this concert he got to play the bass drum for 2 songs, as well as the practice pad along with the other percussionists for a few other songs. He’s really getting quite good, and is hoping to be in honor band next year in Junior High.

 

We were very proud of both of them!

Almost Break Time!

School is almost over until January. Tomorrow is the last day, but they’ve had lots of fun activities going on at school. I went to a few of them today.

First, I went to Harley’s class to make gingerbread houses. She is such a fun little lady.

Tatum had a Polar Express party, and they wore they’re jammies. I helped with this one by bringing hot chocolate with peppermint sticks for the kids. It was really fun! Here’s Tater in her reindeer jammies. (She’s been wearing these for years. I don’t know what she’ll do when she actually grows out of them.)

Finally, I went to Shelby’s class for more gingerbread houses. She did such a great job! So creative! Plus, I just love being with her.

And tonight, while dad and Chandler were at mutual, Santa surprised us with a visit. We were headed out to deliver some Christmas treats, and up walked Santa. Surprise!!! He gave each of the girls a candy cane, and had a funny elf with him that made us laugh. It was so much fun!

Christmas is my second favorite time of year (Thanksgiving still holds the first spot for me). I can’t wait for the kids and I to get out of school tomorrow and start PARTYING!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
