Her Christmas program...


Deck the Bells....I mean halls. This little creative soul keeps me on my toes and laughing the whole time. Decorating a tree once isn't enough. My kids have to do it over and over and over again. And this day she decided to decorate herself too!







Our little "Snig-tails" in her school's Christmas talent show. Her teacher, Sister Jensen, made them all matching pants to wear for the dance. How cute is this 1st grade class? I am so grateful for the school that she goes to! It has been such a blessing for her and for us. She did the cutest little dance and then plunked the piano in the talent show. I say plunk because she hasn't taken lessons yet and just knows the right hand by sound. She plays a mean Silent Night, Sweet Hour of Prayer, and I am a Child of God though.






And then there was Harry....plum-tuckered (or was that me :) after a redecorating of the tree (daily occurence, and you thought cats were bad! Sheesh). I tried uploading the videos of said events, but a fringe benefit of having the slowest internet known to man is that videos are a no-go. This assumption comes after 1 full hour of letting it try to upload. Sigh. I am grateful for what I got though!


Merry Christmas one and all!

Jazz and trees...



Go Jazz! Kent is kinda a die-hard so when the Jazz made their bi-annual appearance here in Portland we HAD to go. It was a family affair. I had my misgivings....we were decked in our Jazz gear and them Portland fans likes the booze. I was envisioning streetside encounters worthy of a HBO special. Happily, it all ended in our favor. Jazz won! We arrived at the car in one piece with serveral "Hey good game"'s on the way and very few cuss words during. I only covered the kids ears once. A very successful first game for Harry.




Our friend gave us some tickets to something called the "Singing Christmas Tree" here at the Keller auditorium. It was wonderful. It is the largest Choir in Oregon. People from all Christian beliefs coming together to sing their testimony of praise and love of the Savior. I love this season.
