Emily's orchestra class had an open house today so that the kids could show the parents what they have learned in the first 3 months of the year. Here is Emily's performance - we are very proud of her!

Wow. Another one of our typically busy weekends. We started out on Friday night by going to see the big man to deliver our Christmas wishes. Santa seemed to understand what Emily asked for, but seemed confused by the term "Vulture Droid." Perhaps the elves need to do some research. We followed Santa with a trip for ice cream with Ninny Cindy.
Our street was HOPPING on our third Halloween in Glendale! So many kids, so much candy!
Per St. Louis tradition, both kids were armed with jokes, committed to memory, for the trick-or-treating event! (In St. Louis, you must do either a trick or tell a joke to get your loot!) Before heading out to tell their jokes, the kids joined the neighborhood kids for the annual picture. Thanks Kelli for being the official photog for the group!

The jokes Em and Adam told this year:One joke that has stuck with me - what is a vampire's favorite drink? BLOODweiser! of course, my guess was "Bloody Marys?"
In the trick department, only two kids did a treat - they performed a dance for me. I heard a large group of kids a few doors down singing, but by the time they reached my house, all they wanted was to cut through the backyard to get home quicker because they were cold!!
