Our Amazing Kidz

The kids have been busy this holiday season ... band concerts, choir concerts and a visit from Santa.

David learned how to play the clarinet in the Middle School band this year. His favorite songs are "Wipe Out," "The Theme from Jurassic Park," and "The Can-Can." He's gotten really good with the clarinet and has figured out how to play the keyboard this year (we really need to get a piano).

The video is of the band playing "The Can-Can." We were really impressed how good the kids played since it's the first year most of them have played an instrument. You can't see David in the video ... but if you listen really close you can hear his clarinet.

Machella has been singing in the Desert Willow Elementary choir this year. Her favorite song in the concert was "Pumpkin Pie Polka." She is also singing in the ward choir and dragged her dad along with her to choir practices. (she's on the 2nd row to the right). I tried to get some video of her but trying to wrestle the twins while taking video didn't turn out too well.

Lyssie and Joshua understand who Santa Claus is this year. They were really excited when he dropped in on our Ward Christmas Party. Elyssa wants Santa to bring her a Barbie and Joshua wants a Transformer. We'll have to wait and see how good Santa thought they were this year ...
