Merry Christmas from our House to Yours










We love Christmas! These lights were professionaly hung by The Biggs Boys Jake and Chase. The classic question came from Jake when he asked me, "Who is going to clean all this up?" I just smiled and said "I am looking at them". Chase and Jake did all this by themselves. They had some instruction from me on where to put them, Adam helped consolidate some of the cords. I think they did great.

Black History Month

This is orchestra and choir singing , if you look real hard you can see Allie playing the violin.



Today while Allie was having piano lessons, Evie came in said "I know what song Allie is playing let me sing it". Allie was playing "This old Man" But Evie sang these words to me.

Martin Luther King
Had a Dream
That we would work as a team
It should not matter the color of our skin
Lets get along and be good friends.

Allie and Evie had special programs at their school for Black History Month. There was a Pastor that spoke at both of them. He had a very good message of having dreams, no matter how bad of circumstances you come from you can dream and make a better life for yourself. There are some very talented kids that sang and one 5th grader recited a portion of "I Have a Dream Speech". Allie played in the orchestra at her program. I am so glad that I was able to talk her into playing in the orchestra. She is very happy that is what she decided to do too. I am real impressed with their performances.
