The Orchestrators Of Christmas Pleasantries

The first orchestrator is Ms. Downey, Destinee's music teacher and she is the dedicated lady that put all this music club performance together.....(we even brought her a poinsettia and some homemade cookies..refer to previous post!!) And the second orchestrator is Good 'Ol Santa Claus!! ;)

The Big Haired Girls

This is one of Destinee's friends and her family..and her mother is the person that initially started my interest and "obsession" (some might say) with fancy haridos and BIG hairbows...so I think you for that Danielle and Aubrey!!

Singin' It To You

Well for the second time in a row Daddy missed one of Destinee's performances for Music Club, but at least I had a camera to document some of the happenings...not video mind you though because Chris has MY camera that videos...UUURRGGHHH!!!! I'll have to do some of these pictures in shifts so it doesn't take an hour to upload them all!!

Sir Bakes-A-Lot

Well when your husband is gone, what else is there for a girl to do with her nightime other than BAKE!! So I made some 3 dozen batches of different cookies to deliver around to people here at Hallasan. And this was Kyle helping me roll the cookies into balls (nevermind that his look like a flattened pancake...he tried!!) Now this was my first time making this type of cookie mainly because I don't like PB cookies and that was the base for this particular cookie, but with Hershey's kiss flavors like "Mint Truffle,Cocoa Cream,and Cherry Cordial" how can you go wrong!!??

Enough of Desi's Freaky Face!!/You Won't Get Much Out of It That Way!!

Alright I figured I had to update something so that everytime I come to my blog to listen to some Christmas music I don't have to see Destinee looking like a werewolf/vampire mixture of scariness!! Anyway, after an overbooked flight in Atlanta and a day late Chris did FINALLY make it home!! Most of you probably didn't even know he was gone...that's how good I am at "doing it myself" that you didn't even know I was suffering in silence!! Just playing...anyway there were some cute outtakes and a performance that I captured while Chris was gone and so I mainly took them for him but maybe someone else would enjoy a peek into our TDY week and a half!! ;) Now onto the other half of my novel sized title!! I am playing in an instrumental musical program at my church next Sunday and had pulled out the good ol' $50 clarinet that I've had since 5th grade to practice a little bit and Kyle was very interested in how this little wooden piece made noise, so thinking he had it ALL figured out he wanted to try and this was his result...nevertheless that there's nothing holding the reed in place but it's also backwards!! Future musican in training!! ;)

Look What You Missed Daddy/Thought It Might Never Happen!!

Well though Chris discovered the renegade tooth first, he missed the actual removal...so hehehe!! And the "Thought It Might Never Happen" statement refers to the fact that her mother still has 4 baby teeth...no typos, you read that correctly. They are perfectly happy and set "in their ways" so much that they might never come out, or if they do it'll be when I'm 80 and already losing all my other teeth so Chris won't find me so hideous!! ;) Anyway, she was very brave and kinda thought the whole process was kinda exciting (in a I'm 2 seconds away from crying kind of exciting) but nowhere near as cool as her brother thought it was!! Dalin was standing there the whole time thinking that this was the most gross/totally wicked thing he'd ever seen!! So keep those bats away from my son or he might try to recreate this event on himself slightly prematurely!! ;)

Some Final Decorations!!

Just a few more extra shots of my door and inner entryway with all the stockings on it....mainly for Mom since she can't just come down the elevator and have a look!! ;)
