I know this is LATE, but GOD JUL! Merry Christmas!

Oh my gosh, you talk about a whirlwind of Christmas flutter in our house! Let's start with last Thursday night. Rebecca and Matthew had a Pre-school Christmas Program! OH MY GOSH were we in stitches! It was so cute. So entertaining (I knew it would be) and so full of overexcited kids. See our Rudolph?



Rebecca was such a trooper compared to all the other "boys" (all boys and only 2 girls in her half of the 4 year old class) who were screaming their songs to us from the stage. Rebecca was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and everyone, as soon as she put her nose on, just oooooo'd and ahhhhhh'd. She is the shortest person in her class but let me tell you something, SHE CAN AND WILL HOLD HER OWN! Saw that twice while some of the boys were jockeying her for her position on stage. She didn't miss a beat and TOLD THEM SO too! hehehehe....*s* That's my girl. LOL (Rebecca's class did a song about God (never really heard it before, and Rudolph)

Anyway, taking pictures at the preschool audiotorium was just HORRIBLE! Just horrible. The lighting was bad. Most of my pictures came out dark and it didn't matter what setting I put it on. (Night, child, regular, general, etc.) So most of the photos are on our digital camera. We'll offload more later.

Matthew was part of the WISEGUYS! hehehehe....*s* He was so cute! He knew all of his movements to his songs and even though he really didn't sing much, he did every single movement! His class was cute! I can see that he's already a LADIES MAN! *good grief* Their class sang, GOD IS SO GOOD and O Little Town of Bethleham.

THEN, we move on to the church program. OH WOW! I'm bragging about me now. I don't get to do that much. I have to say, it's like a bicycle for me. You get on the musical ride and keep on going. I LOVE music! It's just that simple. The ladies ensemble did Mary Did You Know (accapella)! Daddy got it on film and I just heard it yesterday for the first time. WE WERE AWESOME! One little flat part, but our fearless leader Caren, got us back on track. My only thing was I was right in front of the mic and it picked me up!!!!!! I don't like that. I was always taught that when you are with an ensemble or a choir, YOU ARE TO SOUND LIKE ONE VOICE! Other than that, it was good. Our candlelight service was really nice.

Tonight is our rehearsel for the ladies ensemble again and I'm sure we will debrief about Monday night's performance. We've been asked to sing at a couple of venues. The best one is the Catherine's Foundation big annual dinner that is coming up soon (like in May) and we will also be at the singing "competition" (can't say you really say it's a REAL competition but) for the tri-county area for church choirs. Now THAT should be interesting!!! I asked Caren, our leader if we can do Agnus Dei or Handel's Messiah or Mass in G's Kryste Elison. hehehehehee......*giggling* She about jumped outta her skin and said, HA, HA, are you kidding? (funny me) I said, NOPE! ROFL (I really was)

Rebecca got another badge for her Awana jacket. She is the ONLY 4 year old who remembers her scripture verses in her CUBBIES unit. We are so proud of her. Not only does she learn them but she RETAINS them too! Her memory is VERY, VERY good. Momma needs to sew on her patches, that reminds me. *ikes*

Anyway, we hope you guys had a GREAT Christmas. We have LOADS and LOADS of pictures of the kids opening up presents. Especially Matthew as this was his FIRST Christmas with us! OH HIS EYES! I have to upload one of the photos of him opening up his first CARS car, Ligtning McQueen.........oh just you wait! They are coming but until then, just see RUDOLPH BECCA!
