Preschool Christmas Program


Morgan is not one to be told what to do, including performing for an audience. She loves preschool, but when it comes to the programs, she tends to clam up and resist with her "will of steel" any coercion to play the part of happily singing four year old. This is so funny to us at home because around the house we can't get her to STOP singing. This Christmas season was no exception. All month long she sang Christmas songs around the house but we feared what the program would bring. Our little Christmas miracle this year was the night of the program she sang all but two songs and seemed to actually enjoy it for the most part! Grandma and Grandpa Besaw were able to view the miracle as well. We love that Morgan sings for us and are so glad she shared that with others! Thank you Mrs. Skousen, for putting together such a great evening.

Piano Recital


A Christmas tradition that started when Mackenzie and Madison were in second grade was the Christmas piano recital each year. This year Clayton was able to participate in the recital for the first time which made it extra special. They all worked very hard to prepare for this night and did an amazing job with their Christmas songs. We are so pleased with the progress the kids have made in developing their musical abilities and talents. It is always a treat to hear them playing, especially during this season when so much can be expressed through music! Thank you to Jill Bell for teaching them so well and providing them with the opportunity to perform. We hope it is a tradition that lasts for many years to come!

Snowball Fight!

I love kids playing in the snow. Something about it just makes me happy. The other day we barely had enough snow on the ground to play in, but it didn't stop my kids. They rounded up some friends and had a boys vs. girls snow war going in our back yard. Each team built a fort and stocked it with snowballs in preparation. Then the battle began and so did the shrieks and giggles.
