Recitals, Alligators and Valentines

Recently we attending Allyson's big choir performance. All the choirs of the feeder schools to our designated high school were there. It was so fun to see all Ally's hard work pay off with a beautiful performance! She has been diligent in getting up early and being on time to choir before school once a week.

In this photo she is on the end on the second row...her choir director is sitting directly in front of her---we like her---she is the grandma of Brayden's best buddy :)
Here is a shot of the entire group--

Next up we got to go to Brayden's third grade musical. It was the cutest musical about an unfriendly frog who in the end decides that friends are important. Brayden played an alligator and had a speaking part--he did it perfectly.

Here he is right in the middle...

Group shot!
Again this was directed by the same talented music teacher...
Best buddies Brayden and Ethan

Both of the older kids had to create their own Valentines box for school this year. Brayden had to write up plans and draw up a step-by-step process which he will report on at school. We decided to make a lego---his very most favorite thing!

I think it turned out pretty good!

Ally did hers all by herself from start to finish. She knew exactly what she wanted and she got all the supplies and whipped it out. That girl amazes me! I love what she came up with! The lucky girl gets to go roller skating instead of having a Valentines party, then after they'll hand out Valentines. Fun!
