Almost Christmas

Christmas eve.

Dane Guitar Christmas 2007

Here is a nice little 3 minute clip of Dane playing a few songs. He starts with a christmas tune and follows it up with some Johnny Cash and Ozzy Osbourne. (We don't acually live in a cave, I just didn't realize how dim the light setting was on the camera until I downloaded it, sorry.)

Team Gingerbread House 2007

Grandma Renee, Dane and Emma - Team Gingerbread House

(I wisely started drinking before we started flinging frosting and candy around the room, so that the overwhelming mess in the kitchen would not start freaking me out like last year!!)

The finished gingerbread house.............. Beautiful!!! Good job, Team!

Yes, Another Christmas Program

Emma's 3rd grade choir concert was Tuesday night. It was very festive! Ho ho ho!

Christmas Programs

Here are some pics from the Erik and Dane's high school band concert and Emma's church Christmas program. Erik (11th grade) plays the trombone and tuba, Dane (9th grade) plays the trombone and the guitar. They are both also in the steel drum band, the jazz band and the pep and marching bands. Emma was an angel (literally) at church for her sunday school program.

Emma's JFK Dance Performance

Here is a little (okay, I did say little, right?) video clip of one of Emma's JFK Christmas Dance performances. She is the one on the far left at the end of the row. It's too cute for words, I feel like pinching her every time I watch this. ;-) (In case you can't tell by the completely packed gymnasium, dance team is a big thing in our town.)
