Concerts, Concerts & Post Christmas

Clark and Cal each participated in a concert lately.

On Saturday Clark performed in a piano festival.  This was his second year competing.  He had to memorize two pieces--Prehistoric Processional and Billowing Breakers.  We are really proud of his hard work.  I enjoyed going to the festival.  Clark was glad when it was over.

After we went to a local frozen yogurt shop, Sweet Frog.  The kids enjoyed that.  Shanna's frozen yogurt tasted really weird.  Lee asked about it and one of the workers thought it tasted weird also.  They let Shanna pick a different flavor which was nice.

Yesterday afternoon and last night Cal had a recorder concert at school. Lee was able to come to the afternoon performance, which was fun.

That evening I came by myself with Cal.  Lee finished up dinner with the kids and had some do baths. After the concert we biked to the community center, played for a little while, then enjoyed cookies at home.  It was fun going to the concert.  Nice work Cal!

Post Christmas...I found some forgotten photos that I want to share. Mindy and Andrew brought Christmas presents over for the kids after we got back from Pennsylvania for New Years.

Clark's favorite treat is homemade chocolate chip cookies.  He likes making them too.

Growing up we would smash our houses on New Year's day.  Normally over the holidays we have family visiting or we are visiting other family over New Years.  Some point in January Lee took the kids outside and let them shoot their houses with Clark's paintball gun.

Great job Clark! Very impressed.

(Minus the obvious gum chewing. Minnis Alderman would have never stood for that)
