Cherub Choir

Today Connor sang at church in the "Cherub Choir".  It's the pre-school age choir.  It was really cute.  The first service he sang most of the time because he couldn't see us.  But second service we sat right up front and he could see us watching him and cheering him on.  Our extremely shy boy clamped up and didn't sing the whole service.  We have a couple of great shots of the kid in front of him, who he hid behind the whole time, as well as the back of his head as he watched the performance live on the big screen!

Here is the only one where Connor is smiling.

Here is the only one where Connor looks like he is singing.

Enjoy!  and Merry Christmas!

Princesses and Pirates

We went to a Princess and Pirate party.  It was amazing!  The girls all dressed in princess dresses and the boys in pirate costumes.  They all had a blast.  A few minutes into the party guess who showed up?!?! Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella!!!!!  

Here's Connor in his pirate costume after he got his face painted!

Here is Sleeping Beauty!

Pretty Hair!

Kelsey got her hair braided at school!

Field Trip!!!!

My friend Tressa and I went to the zoo on a field trip with Pre-School. This our second year taking the day off to spend the day with the kids there at the LA Zoo.  We had 5 kids amongst the 2 of us, so it was a little hectic, but we survived!  What we really had to survive was the hills at the zoo pushing that much weight in the strollers!  These pictures are taken with my iPhone, by the way.  Pretty good pics for a phone, don't you think?
