Piano Concerts and Winter Slam

We have had a busy but fun last few weeks!! The first slide show is of our Christmas tree hunting at Danville Farms. If you have never been... its a lot of fun. A tractor takes you out into the field to pick you tree, you can have hot chocolate and eat peanuts over an open fire pit! In years past, it has not been cold and we have faked pictures with hats and scarfs. I think 3 years ago it was 85 degrees and the boys were sweating but I made them wear hats for pictures. At least this year was around 55 degrees!!

This slide show also has the boys piano recital. Ethan has been taking piano from our favorite piano teacher in the whole world (shout out to the fantabulous Mrs. Charity!!) for 3 years and Isaac has taken for about6 months! They both love it but still need to practice more! Maybe that should be our New Year's Resolution!!

This past Thursday night, we took the boys to the Winter Slam Concert in Shreveport. There were 4 Christian artists; A new hip hop artist, B. Raith, Family Force Five, Relient K and of course TOBY MAC!!! The boys could barely contain themselves. We missed most of B. Raith's performance and got to our seats when FFF started. Now, my parents came with us to this one. I warned them before hand that is was going to be high energy!! They, however, could not in any way be prepared for FFF. They are a defiantely a 80's hair band!! Lots of noise, jumping around, throwing things and most definately lots of hair slinging! My dad was NOT impressed. Relient K was much better. But I think they actually enjoyed Toby Mac. He puts on a great show!! It is definitely a must see!! Poor Isaac though used up most of his energy during the first 2 performances and feel asleep in the middle of Toby Mac. We woke him up at the end when he performed Jesus Freak, his favorite!! Ethan on the other hand got his groove on and sang every word to every song. I think we may have a little hip hop artist in our midst :) All in all it was a very memorable concert and the boys already are asking when we can see Toby Mac again....
