Christmas Music

If you would like to see our kiddos playing some Christmas music, here are a couple of links.  The other players are super dedicated, practice a ton and arranged the music for this performance.  Our kiddos were along for the ride because they are good sports.

4th Grade Choir Concert

Yoda was in the 4th Grade Choir Concert last month, he was very excited about it this year.
 
There he is right in the middle looking all dapper.  (It was also his 10th birthday and he had just received that hat he'd wanted for a while!)
 We thought it would be funny re-live a moment from a 4th Grade Choir Concert of a few years ago...

Time Lapse Christmas

Thought it would be funny to film us opening presents, but in time-lapse mode!
So here's like 20 minutes of us unwrapping presents, but jammed into less then 2 minutes.  Right at the end we give the camera a wave :)

 We put together many puzzles this year! 
And chilling afterwards...

Merry Christmas!

Lots going on this month... it's nice to be busy with nice things.
 First we visited a very special Santa :) 

The kiddos sang at the ward Christmas Party-- Yoda is doing a little boogie-pose off to the right, he's in a blue shirt. 
Mimi is in the middle, wearing pink.  She was super serious, but we were able to get this little smile our of her.



Yoda is in the back row, just under the flag.  This was a school choir concert.
Parker also had a school orchestra concert that same night, Greg attended so I don't yet photos or video from it...
We also visited Nana's good friend's house for cookie decorating and model-train inspiration.

Mimi was in her first play- Scrooge.  She was the pudding vendor and the tallest in the cast.
Here's a brief video, it's toward the end of the play.

There is a lot of work to do on the train track.  Every Christmas I think, "this year I'm going to make this happen!"  Fingers crossed!

Our Christmas

Yoda decorated graham cracker houses at school and I was able to be there.  


 At church there was a pleasant Christmas party-- 4 out of 5 Gibbys were in the Nativity. 






Christmas Eve--reading the Christmas story and awaiting the opening of ONE present!

After part of the day with Greg's family, my family had a safe trip from the East Coast and we were so happy to have them! 

Christmas Morning...





 On a warm-ish day we went to the zoo, I think we went to every corner of the place looking for animals. 





Other highlights from Christmas break... 
We put together a fun puzzle, somehow we didn't get a photo of me with my sisters working on it. 
And we hit the art museum one last time before our membership expired.

For Christmas...

For Christmas the kiddos got a new cool swing from the Christmas funds from Grandma and Grandad.

Here's a video of Yoda displaying just how cool it is.

Mimi's first Bass Concert

Mimi is the one waving like crazy from the back row.  Thank goodness she's tall so we can see her.
During practice that morning she nearly passed out from nerves and a late lunch.  The nighttime performance went very well though-phew!

Jingle Bells Video for your listening pleasure! :)
Merry Christmas!

Gingerbread house

Construction complete.


Parker just might give bunny-ears to any person or thing he is pictured with.

Is it too late for a Christmas post?

I'm a little behind on my posts, this might happen most years...Here's Christmas 2015!
 We made a Lego/eco/gingerbread house--check out that windmill! 
 Christmas Photobomb

 Even Mimi got in on the photobomb

 

 BB-8 joined the family from Aunt Sonya



 How to make a 13 year old happy: a multi-tool from Nana!  

Marble maze madness from Aunt Tina!  

We had a great Christmas--I promised it would be small because we spent most of our Christmas budget in Orlando over the summer, but we still have fun!  Other highlights: Hot Chocolate and College fund contributions from Aunt Jill, Movie ticket gift cards from Aunt Merisa, and fun money from Aunt Michelle and Uncle Bruce as well as Grandma and Granddad.
