Sarah Means Princess

Sarah was invited to a princess party the other day. It was so fun trying to figure out what she could wear. We decided to try and find things around the house, so we took an old prom dress, cut off the top and re-hemmed it. Then we added a white shirt, a pearl necklace, and a smashing princess hairdoo furnished by Rebekah and voila: we had a princess. OK, We had a princess before we did any of that, but now she was ready for the party. Sooooo fun being a mom and playing dress-up! Yea!

Marshall in China

Marshall is in China right now helping with the production of a Bullydog product. He will be there for another 7 days. His flight was non-stop from San Franscisco and it took 15 hours. Can you imagine flying on a plane for 15 hours? It's nice that he has work, however, his company as told him that they are running out of money and has warned him that he needs to start looking elsewhere. Great time to be looking for work! But, life is an adventure and I am glad to have it.

Jenny and Lisa Perform for our Family Christmas Party

So fun to listen to Jenny and Lisa on the flute!

What is a Didgeridoo

Dan performed on his didgeridoo during our Family Christmas Party. If you listen closely, you can hear "Jingle Bells" On the following post, you will hear all of us performing and the didgeridoo is very close to the microphone on the camera which has caused a sometimes painful wave to the sound clip, so I apologize to those of you who venture on to the next post, but it is fun to see all of us performing together.

Family Christmas Party

The grand finale of our annual Christmas Eve Dinner and Program for the evening was our rendition of "The First Noel" Stephen, Quinn, Tysen, Lisa, Rick, Thomas, and Grandma all played the bells, Dan played the "didgeridoo", which is an authentic Australian instrument, Debbie played the tambourine, Jenny played the flute, Grandpa played his viola, Michelle and Hannah played violin, Kim played the bongos and everyone sang. You have the amazing results before you now.
