Kids' Stuff

This past week and a half has been filled with the girls' activities. Ava's little preschool class did their Christmas play at a local nursing home. Ava played the angel and did a great job (and of course refused to wear the halo).


Lexi had fun in her first season singing with the Clark County Children's Choir. Her concert was this past weekend. She even had a little solo. Great job Lex!



She's on the very left, on the end. =) The video we got is way better.
Lexi also had a first grade concert at school. They did a lot of cute songs!







This morning Lexi was awarded with the Distinguished Dragon Award at her school. This award is for demonstrating the Six Pillars of Character at school: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. Way to go Lexi (although I have to wonder at times how in the world she got this award... wish she could show these characteristics more at home!)! =)



With Mr. Tanaka and Principal Chua
I didn't get to stay to watch her actually receive the award, but Benj was there and taped it all. I had to come home and teach Ava's preschool and get ready for their little Christmas party. Benj even went to Lexi's class for the "author celebration" where the kids had written their own books and read them aloud.




The Joy School party was a success. The kids did their Christmas play again for all the parents and we had made cookies/treats beforehand to share.


Phew!! Sooooooo glad this week is about over. Time for some R&R and Christmas celebration with my family.

Wish I could have come and watched all of the concerts, plays, etc. I'm glad for your sake that its over, I know exactly how you feel. But good job to the girls and to you and Benj too. Love you all.
