Other December Musical Happenings

Brandon and Kate are both on the chimes team at school. This is a very fun group who play these chimes that make the most beautiful and heavenly music. I just love to listen to them play! This year the 4th graders had their own music night at the school and then the 3rd graders had their music night the week after. Then all the chimes teams (3rd grade team and 2 4th grade teams) went on tour together. They visited two retirement homes in the area and played Christmas carols for them. Carli and I were able to go along and it is so neat to see all the faces light up when these kids come in the room and play their music. They especially love seeing the little ones, like Carli and a small baby who was with our group as well. It was a neat day.
Megan's grade has a little "sing" at the beginning of school one more last week. It only lasted 5 minutes, but the kids love to dress up in their Christmas clothes and sing these sweet songs to their parents and the rest of the school. Megan donned her bright red Christmas dress and sang her heart out. :)
Here are some pictures from all of these happenings.
Megan singing with all the other 1st graders. We couldn't get very close because the rest of the students in the school were sitting in the main part of the gym. Megan off to class

After the chimes tour they all went out to Cici's Pizza for lunch. Everyone enjoyed that!
Sorry about the open mouth (Brandon!!!). Here he is with his buddy, Ryley, who is on the 3rd grade team.
Carli sure enjoyed the pizza and pasta! Yum!
Carli has to walk the curbs wherever we go. This was outside one of the retirement homes.
Brandon got right up to the camera lens and this was the result. Silly guy!

It's delivered to a lady in Watauga every two weeks and you pick it up. $25 for half-crate (what I do) or you can do $50 for full crate. You leave a check for next shipment when you pick-up. You don't order specifics, you just get what's in season at the time. All organic. Email me if you want more info. and I can get you in touch with the lady.
