The big stage show......

Dax was running a little late yesterday when it was time to pick the kids up from school. In his haste to get out of the office he left his house keys on his desk.

Of course he realised this as soon as he got home and started looking for his keys to unlock the front door.

He called me at the office and I left early to go unlock the house for them. It was no big deal because I was going to have to leave early anyway because Kirsten had a choir performance.

When I got home the kids were scattered, still looking for ways to get into the house. Except for Abigail. She said it was too cold in the car so she was trying to stay warm with the cat's bed.

That looks much warmer, right?


Then we got bundled up to go to Kirsten's choir performance at the Trail of Lights.


She had to be there early, so the rest of us had a chance to wander around and look at some of the displays.

Santa's helpers.......

Then we made it back to the stage for the choir performance......

After her performance we looked around a little longer.

I thought this tree was really neat!

Here's an up-close picture so you can see what it was made of.

All in all it was a good night. It was cold but fortunately it wasn't windy. Being on the top of the hill in the cold and wind is just miserable, but last night was good.

Choir concert.....50's style

The girls had their choir concert tonight.

The theme was rock n roll forever.

It was really good!


I made poodle skirts for them. (Well, not Addison's. It was left over from a Halloween costume.)

They had a whole stage scene and in addition to the singing there was dancing too.

Did you notice the tall kid by the juke box? He's Elvis. It's too funny because he's a blonde headed kid and the wig was just awful. Of  course, that only made the whole production even better. Everytime he would talk all the little girls would scream.

They all did a great job.

An angel's voice

Earlier in the evening on the night that Abigail wound up in the hospital, Kirsten had her choir concert at Emily Ann Theatre. The kids all did a really good job -- but it was COLD out there.

Kirsten is the second from the left in the front row.



I think she's really enjoyed being in the choir and not having her brother or sisters participate. It's been HER thing. And that's good.
