It's been a while.

We've had some computer problems, so have been sharing one computer (gasp) lately. We're hoping to fix this all in the next few days as we get a new hard drive in the mail and do some computer surgery.

The kids both had their Christmas shows last night--Anna's at 6pm, Justin's at 7pm. Anna's class was tri-lingual, singing in French, English, and Italian. Their English song was a jazzy version of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" which including jazzy choreography. Extremely cute.

Justin's class sang "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and the John Lennon Christmas song--"So this is Christmas". There were a LOT of songs in English during his show including an Abba song, the one about dreaming a dream and a new song to me, "Have a Rosy Christmas".

We stayed after Justin's to snack and chat while Anna looked in vain for a rose (roses had been passed out to the audience at the end of the Rosy Christmas Song). The combination of a very long day and the lack of a rose was not a good one, but a plate of spaghetti before bed and choosing gifts for her teachers cheered her up.

I was going to include some footage of Justin's class singing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas." Anna did the filming and did some fancy camera choreography that adds a little zip to the song. Think Holly Jolly Christmas  as a roller coaster. Alas, the server is rejecting my video.

On another note, Justin's wrist is healing well after breaking it in two places a couple of weeks ago. He had a big cast for two weeks, and now has a smaller one just on his lower arm and wrist. He enjoyed being famous for a few days (since everyone wanted to know the details) and noted that adults all asked about how he did it, then proceeded to tell about times they broke bones.

Will try to fight for computer access over the coming days...
