A Christmas Carol

I went with April’s family to the play, “A Christmas Carol” tonight. I adore this story for so many reasons–but seeing it live this way is my favorite thing of all. I feel like I learn something new each time I see it.

We even spotted some sweet friends that I hadn’t seen in 5 years. At first I was embarrassed because some of us have changed so much in the last little while. I honestly was ready to hide. But when they saw us and were so happy–all that sillyness flew away. It turned out to be lovely.  I learned something new there too.

Merry Christmas.

Thankful Music

This guy, right here– my cute boy Dane, is taking classes in using technical resourses to make music–and is he ever having fun doing it! He started in October so he set up a full line of Halloween tunes. Some are silly kid songs and some are surprisingly spooky!

His YouTube page is called Light Shine University.

Lord of the Harvest

Then he moved on to a whole new, quite forgotten genre and made a long list of Thanksgiving music. I’ve been listening to it for weeks and I have to say, it’s lovely to have tons of gratitude-type lyrics in my head–especially this time of year.

I Love You More

He has written one from a true story of a sweet conversation with his little daughter that melts my heart.

Grampa Was the Gingerbread Man

And this one…is about my dad and it makes me sob. It’s beautiful.

I’m so proud of him. Please check out his whole page for tons of beautiful, fun stuff.

Press Start

Our sweet Jessica is a lovely member of the AF Symphony and we LOVE going to her concerts!

So it goes without saying that when they had one totally dedicated to video game music–

we said, “Ohhhh HECK yeah!”

Apparently, a boatload of people felt the same.

Before it started the place was

packed!!

They even had sweet little programs that looked like controllers…

a slightly eerie choir…

and a video music trivia game where people won all kinds of retro prizes–

like Lemonheads, and Laffy Taffy and Chick-o-Sticks!

If I’d have only known…I’d have studied ahead.

Every bit of this fun music made a couple of people…

incredibly happy.

Good job Jessica! You’re amazing and we love you.
