December 2009

December gets Super Busy!
Starting with the Festival of Trees-local clubs, churches, individuals decorate trees, display them at this function-the trees (and wreaths, gingerbread houses, donated gift baskets, etc...) are silent auctioned over 4-5 days. The schools, dancing studios, etc... perform on one of the nights!

Sophie and Katy clogging!

Another night is Katy's Band Concert. We were given the pleasure of sitting through the 5-6th Grade Band playing 4/5 songs, the 7th Grade Band playing 4/5 songs (Katy's Band), and the 8th Grade Band playing 4/5 songs! What Beautiful Music!?!

A younger Brother's take sitting through all of these bands! Aren't brothers wonderful!!

The Charter School the kids attend produced a Christmas Program, performed an Another night this month! The kids/classes sang, performed readings, skits, played instruments-the recorder and the harmonica, and danced (Ben had some MOVES!!-the Robot, Travolta's Stayin' Alive, the twist and more)!

Here is a video of Our Ben's Dance Moves!

Who Knew!!

And, in the middle of all of this excitement, Denny got his braces off!!! (We were quoted 12-18 months-Denny had them on for 23 months!) Katy was jealous that her Dad got his braces off before she did! (He did get them 9 months before she got hers!!)
