Looks like we survived another fall semester. Matt and I are done grading and now trying to catch up with Christmas preparations and restoring order to the chaos in our house.
The girls have kept the Christmas spirit going in our house. I'm so glad we got the tree up during Thanksgiving week. Both girls were such a help decorating the tree this year and somehow all of the ornaments have managed to stay on the tree. Last year, Brooke couldn't help pulling them off and playing with all the little people.
We've enjoyed 2 Christmas performances from the girls this year. One was their school performance and one was with their Sunday school at church this past weekend. I recorded the school show on our old camcorder and don't have the patience to digitize the video, but part of the Sunday school one is below. Luci goes in the 4/5 yo class with Brooke, so she got to be in the show. The girls went to all the practices.
They did great with the first song of the show (Red and Green). During the 2nd song (which was 'slow' and Brooke's least favorite), a little boy pushed Luci off the stage and, flustered, she crawled off to sit with me. Of course, Brooke bailed right after that because she wanted to be with us. I managed to get Luci back up there for the 3rd song, but she only stayed for 30 seconds.
After the children's service, the girls also got to meet Santa and had a little party with their friends.
