Heather had her middle school concert. She is in the jazz band this year.
Wayne and Cole had their Lake Region High School concert. Wayne is doing both band and jazz band as independent study this year. He now plays tenor sax which means that the jazz band is almost all saxophone players.
Cole now plays baritone sax. You can barely see him to the far right.
Cole is not normally part of the Lake Region chorus, but when the chorus spent the day travelling around the area caroling, he decided to go along. Here they surprised us at where I work, Rock Insurance.
Wayne and friends ran in the Santa Run.
Wayne placed 4th overall. Below he poses as 3rd for men.
Heather had some friends over for a sleepover birthday party. They did some sledding.
Drank some hot cocoa.
Made a giant batch of slime, which is all the rage now.
They also made and decorated cookies.
They ate some pizza and cake.
Oops, these pictures are out of order.
Played hilariously awkward game of twister.
And that pretty much brings us up to date until tomorrow - Christmas Day!
Well, that was fun to catch up on your kiddos as I didn't really get a chance to talk to you yesterday. Loved all the concerts! Heather looked so grown up and pretty in her concert. Wayne got a big round of applause from his fans during his solo. I could spot Cole in the background of his concert. Must have been Cole's idea to come to your place of work to sing carols! Heather's birthday sleepover looked like a blast. Reminds me of when my girls were that age and they had friends over! Happy New Year to everyone at Elijah's Place!
ReplyDeleteWell we couldn't wait until seeing all the photos in this post to come to this space and make our first initial comments.
ReplyDelete#1 Léna says that in Heather's Jingle Bells it sounded good however she things at one point somebody was playing B natural and it should have been B flat. How she is able to hear that, I do not know.
#2 The screaming girls prior to and after Wayne's solo was just too dang funny. It's like a Beatles concert. Léna says "Ooooooh this is love" and then made a heart sign with her hands.
2nd round of comments: now we have watched with Estelle because Léna screamed so much when the girls screamed for Wayne's solo that she woke up Estelle so now we had to watch everything again. They want you to ask Cole is the girls on flutes are out of tune. They think they were playing the wrong notes/rhythm. Nonetheless it was good and we enjoyed it! Esp Greatest Showman! Léna loved the carolers because we don't have that here and we want to know if Cole was actually singing?
ReplyDeleteEstelle thinks it's cool that HEather had a sleepover party!
Slime is also the rage here. Lena made some at birthday party recently, and also made cookies. But not such a big batch of slime.
Estelle is jealous that your house is big enough to have 4 friends for a sleepover and that you can go sliding outside your door. That is amazing to us!
Loved the pictures and loved the comments people had about them!! I particularly loved those marshmallow snowman hot chocolate floaters!!
