Silent Night

Our Christmas Program this year was mostly music. Anyone that wanted to play or sing told the Pastor and he put it all together with narration between each special. I wanted to play my harp...but I didn't want to play alone =o) So I asked a friend to play his guitar with me. I think it turned out pretty well, and guitar and harp sound awesome together!

You will probably need to turn the volume up to hear it, especially at the beginning (and don't forget to pause my music at the bottom of my blog)
Thank you, Lance for playing with me!

What Child is This

Chord and I arranged and played a duet of What Child is This for my Christmas Recital. It was kinda rough because we only learned it 2 days before the recital, but I think it turned out pretty well =o)

Jehovah, Hallelujah

I had a Christmas recital for my piano students, but...since I only have 4 students I decided to recruit some other people. So my brothers played their violins and I asked my parents and the Chace's to sing a song.

Jehovah, Hallelujah

Traditional Spiritual

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
The foxes have a hole, the birdies have a nest
The Son of God, He don't know where to lay His sweet head.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

There was room at the inn
For the merchants that day,
But Joseph and Mary had no place to stay.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

Then a star in the heavens,
The message did bring!
The tiny Babe in swaddling clothes, was Jesus the King

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

Sorry, it cuts off the last word of the song...the memory card was full on our camera.

Christmas Baking...

....has begun! Chord, Calder, Teague, Cadence and I all made gingerbread houses yesterday! It was really fun and messy :D

waiting for icing to harden...

CANDY! :D

 mmm...this is mine, the shingles on the roof are chocolate covered pretzels!! YUM!

 Lol, we made a BIG mess, there was icing COVERING the floor, and I even found some in my apron pocket :D

Haha, this picture I took from Grandma because it was better quality then the ones from our camera :D

New Friends

  This past year I've made some new friends. The college program that I'm doing (CollegePlus! which I still need to do a post on) has a forum that you can get on for study tips, but also to get to know some of the other students. I have made sooo many incredible friends. Each one of them has been a blessing in one way or another, and some of them have become like sisters and brothers to me. 

  This spring I got to meet two of the students that are from Alaska, Esther and her older brother, (and her parents and adorable younger siblings =o)) Then we got to visit again this fall, it was so fun!

Me and Esther

So, even though I'm not going to a community college...it's not like I'm completely shut out from people =o) and I think I like this better, because I don't have to be around them all the time :D
