It's been a few years since we shot one of these, and our recent camping trip to Bastrop State Park was the perfect opportunity - especially now that Noble is old enough to do a little acting.
Today at church, Kayci and Noble (and the other kids at church) dressed up and sang "Go Tell It On the Mountain."
Kayci and Mommygirl made a white tutu for Kayci and a halo out of garland. We borrowed some angel wings from a friend and her costume was complete. It's not tough to make Kayci look like an angel.
But the real challenge was Noble.
When they started practicing the song at church a few weeks ago, he came home and said that he was going to be a wise man. When asked what a wise man wore, he said "you know, a cape, wike a superhero." He had it in his mind that a wise man was a superhero and that he should wear a cape.
We tried and tried to convince him that a wise man should dress like he dressed when he dressed up like Joseph at school. But to no avail. So Kristi - being the best Mommy ever - bought him a cape to wear.
Then - yesterday - a stroke of brilliance! If we could convince him to wear a crown, the cape might be okay. Success!!! So Noble wore a red superhero cape and a gold crown, a Cars tie and carried a box painted gold. Apparently, the wise men brought gold bricks...
Here is some video if the kids singing from two different angles:
Today was Kayci's first piano recital! She started piano lessons in September, and she's been practicing really hard. Here's a video of her portion of the recital:
Last night Krause Elementary had its annual 3rd Grade Christmas program, and Kayci took part - in fact, she was one of the speakers at the beginning! Space was extremely limited, so we didn't send invitations- but you can watch the whole thing here!
Have fun watching the cutest darn milk (Kayci's costume) in 3rd grade sing, dance and speak! And Merry Christmas!!!
Noble and I went for a bike ride last night and stopped at Dairy Queen for some ice cream. He was in classic Noble form, so I shot a couple of minutes of video of Noble just acting, well... like Noble.
Over the weekend, Kayci learned how to ride her bike! This video was shot over four days as she learned and got better. It's Kayci, so there were a lot of crocodile tears and wailing and gnashing of teeth, but she kept trying and refused to give up. We're so proud of her!
When the cousins get together, they enjoy making a short film just for fun! Their latest, "Rookys," is the first written completely by the Clarkson and Pharaon kids. Enjoy!

I told my Boy that this year I should tell everyone I'm 41 (since I
apparently skipped that one) and th...
