Christmas Eve 2018

We attended our church's candlelight Christmas Eve service and then headed home for leftover fondue and presents. The boys opened their yearly pajamas and games.

SCE Holiday Show

Yesterday, I finished my last holiday show!  Everything went really well and I was thankful to have both Cameron and Ethan there to help with the sound.  We have a new outdoor sound system and it has been a challenge to manage that with everything else.  They both came several days and took care of it for me!  The leadership team gave me a lovely flowered plant that I wasn't expecting. 

Jazz and Pizza Night

We went out for pizza Wednesday night to watch the high school's jazz and salsa bands perform.  Fun music and yummy pizza!

School concerts!

I got 2 of 3 concerts finished last week!  One was my choir recital at SCE and the other was the big Christmas musical for Trinity Classical Academy.  I also ran a band assembly for SCE to promote an upcoming band class in January.  A very fun but busy week, for sure!  I have one more performance on Friday and then I'm on vacation!  Yay!

Christmas Concerts at church

 Cameron has been volunteering his time to serve on the tech team at the Christmas concerts.  He was allowed to be the camera director for the event and did an amazing job!  The concerts were great!

Twinning with Suzanne

I saw this shirt online and had to get one for Suzanne and I!  With all the busyness and crazy that December brings Music teachers, I figured we could both use a little "happy."  Don't we look happy?

Advanced Band Holiday Concert

Ashton played the triangle, the bell kit at his concert and smiled the whole time!  

Cameron missed the concert because he was helping with
tech at the church concerts.

He loved his new book!

Thousand Oaks Marching Band Exhibition

Due to the Woolsey and Hill fires, several California bands missed attending a competition that would allow them to attend championships.  Our band, Saugus High School Marching Band and Color Guard, was one of those bands.  Thousand Oaks, a community affected by both fires and the Borderline shooting, offered to give these bands closure by hosting an event for bands to play one more show.  We were able to attend and support the band, the Thousand Oaks community and loved every minute of it.  I rode the bus and acted as nurse for the evening.  The event was covered by abc7.  I attached a link to the article and video.
