Maira's School Concert: She is attending a French Immersion school about 10 minutes from our house. They sang several songs in French and in English, including "Frotte les Mains", a song I remember singing when I was in elementary school in Ottawa!
Her teacher, Mlle Forin. She was filling in for the first half of the year as the regular teacher was on Mat leave. Maira will miss "Madame" very much in the new year!
One Sunday night, we decorated gingerbread houses.
One night, for Family Home Evening, we went to the Bethlehem Walk at a nearby Christian Alliance church, where hundreds of volunteers reenact scenes from Bethlehem.
For another Family Home Evening, we went to the Legislature grounds. Uncle Spencer came along too so that was fun.
Checking out the picture of Grandma Jane's father on the wall inside the Legislature.
Last night, we went to watch Hudson perform in his Playschool Christmas Concert. They sang three songs: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the Reindeer Pokey, and We Wish you a Merry Christmas.
Before the concert started, Jess entertained the kids by letting them take pictures with his camera. Here are some of Connor's shots:
Finally, the concert started. Hudson was a very cute reindeer. He had been nervous about having to wiggle his little bum in front of everyone for the Reindeer Pokey song but as you will see in the video at the bottom, he did a wonderful and very adorable job!
At the end of the concert, the kids even got to meet Santa AND Mrs. Claus!
